Alexander McQueen

Our Number 1 Inspiration

a|w 2009 collection

For breathtaking fashion and memorable catwalk shows Alexander McQueen was quite simply the best. His collections were full of passion, drama and electrifying storytelling moments that were the highlights of the fashion weeks that he took part in.

Here is our top 5 McQueen Moments

Moment 1: Kate Moss Hologram

The Kate Moss hologram was the finale to the 2006 autumn/winter show that moved, surprised and delighted everyone. The audience unsure what the hologram was until it slowly morphed into Kate.

Here's a closer look at both model and dress!

Moment 2: McQueen's Robot Ballet

This moment was incredibly moving as the robots spray-painted a design onto model Aimee Mullins dress.

Sometimes it's the gentle things that take the breath away...

Beautiful Aimee is a double leg amputee and walked down the catwalk on hand-carved wooden legs.

Moment 3: Lady Gaga's Bad Romance

Lee's futuristic Plato's Atlantis 2010 Collection was simply stunning.

On the catwalk show it was the first time the world got to hear the soon to be iconic Lady Gaga's

Bad Romance

Fabulously futuristic with a revolutionary snake print that is still unsurpassed

Sci-Fi alien influenced hairstyles

Possibly Lee's most famous shoe the Armadillo!

Walk, walk, fashion baby . Work it, move that bit crazy.

Lady Gaga peaked at this moment for us. She will have pull something special to ever top this. Over 400 million youtube views.

Moment 4:The Girl Who Lived In A Tree

Inspired by a trip to India and a dream about a Princess who lived in a tree this was for us Lee's finest collection.

Majestic, opulent and regal.

It's best to use a money checker pen on large notes

Amazing hairstyles in the style of trees!

This model branched out on her own

The new Twiggy 

Handbag Faberge egg stylee. 

I would catch a grenade for ya, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Tree Centrepiece

Highlights from McQueen's finest collection 

Moment 5: Horn of Plenty A/W 2009

Troubling times in the global economy was reflected in Lee's 2009 collection. Dark and aggressive it really packed a punch.

The image on the right especially is freaking amazing

Armour ready for anything!

Love how the make-up is clownish and fetish-like

Beautiful yet hellish footwear

Finally..

Alexander McQueen's talent was beautiful, amazing and inspiring

80s and 90s Fashion!

80s and 90s Stylee Rocks!!

Our love for the 80s and 90s runs deep, especially for the movies and fashion. Our Narzipan Streetwear is always influenced by these decades of fashion glory as we modernise it and give it a hip new twist. We are not the only fans as you will see in the pictures below the vibrant colours and fun styling of 80s and 90s are big influences on current pop stars and fashionistas too.

Big Influence: Fresh Prince of Bel Air

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is a fave and it ran from 1990 to 1996. It was the big break for Will Smith but it was not all about him as many people watched and copied diva Hilary's style. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air fashion was colourful, loud and funky. You can see some influence in Cher Lloyd's eclectic style now below.

  

Bananarama signature look in the 80s 

Narzipan digs this vibe 

I scream, you scream, someone stole this van that sells ice cream 

This van was stolen from the Custard Factory after our photo shoot

Tailored jackets with prominent shoulder pads was a key Hilary Banks trend. A cool hat would add interest and personality.

The Prince never did monochrome...

Nor do Stooshe now

It can also mean stoned or stashed away too

Narzipan also likes colour with zing

Cher takes it to another level with that magenta microphone

The colour printed t-shirt is everywhere nowadays.

 

Big earrings will get you big attention 

Flamboyant Footwear!

The prevalence of high tops on the high street is another tribute to the past.

Bow ties are one of Narzipan's signatures. We love the fun they add to clothes.

Narzipan Sweater

Fresh Prince Tropical Influenced Baseball Caps

Denim Ruled the 80s World

Denim could not be escaped in the 80s and early 90s. Double denim, jackets, shorts, jeans and waistcoats created a denim overload.

Salt-n-Pepa Pushin it Real Good

Salt-n-Pepa formed in 1985 and carried on until 2002 before reforming in 2007

Little Mix looking good on last year's X Factor

More stonewash denim at their single launch

Rihanna adds class to her outfit with snappy accessories

The movie BIG was released in 1988 taking $150m at the box office

Tom Hanks was nominated for an Oscar for Big and has since won Best Actor twice

Rizzle Kicks just need that big piano to do their version of Chopsticks

Rizzle Kicks are inspired by old school hip-hop from the late 80s and early 90s. They have sold 1 million records worldwide.

Screeeeeeech!! It's Saved By The Bell!

Saved by the Bell originally aired in 1989 to 1993. The College Years and then the New Class took it right up until 2000.

Liza "Teenage Mutant Ninja"Turtle

This picture is from Victoria Secret's show in 2011. It could easily be a Saved by the Bell resort party

We like Rihanna too much to not include her again

These are from a Terry Richardson photo shoot

On the We Found Love video shoot the high-waisted skirt was the right way to go

Denim, varsity jackets, pumps, colour basics and scrunchies are your way to achieve the Saved by the Bell look.

Finally..

Take the colour, add denim and finish with current footwear fetish trend creepers to make it 2013 stylee like Azealia Banks
