Ode to a Genius

The global fashion sphere today nurses a heavy heart as they learn that creative legend Alexander McQueen has passed away.

The 40 year old designer from London had become a well renowned name in an extremely short space of time; his hard work, dedication and true visions of fashion and art has resulted in a respected and covetable platform.

The rebellious teenager of the fashion family, McQueen always stayed honest to his vision directions and is one of the very unique who can be described as a true trend setter because of this. 

Fellow designers as well as those A-listers who wore his work will indeed mourn, however, I believe that his legacy will live on, for much a time, through the inspiration that his talentful mind, and indeed artistry provided.

Is there anything the Choo can't do?

Ok, I, like any other female (and probably male) person out there, lahoves the Jimmy Choo. They are the most covetable line of shoes out there, apart of red blooded Louboutins of course, but choo mania has left me a little tiresome and more than a little exasperated of late.

Darling Jimmy collaberated with H&M, which bought a ray of hope with a standard paycheck, then announced plans to team with Ugg; of which I cannot currently imagine anything un-trashy, but most recently of all, they have unleased upon the fashion world the Choo Trainer: a range of designer trainers for around £400 a jog.

Set to be launched onto the world in May, I predict the A-list celebs pictured working out in these, sending the rest of the normaltons into a frenzy, but really all I want to say is....can we please stop now?

Can Jimmy Choo, just stay Jimmy Choo - retain its class and prestige, so like Chanel they are just more covetable the older the label gets?
