Imogen Heap is an angelic singer from Britain. Brasky Sweethearts have taken to her style, especially with her juxtaposition of nature and instruments on her sets.
Michael Cinco is a formal couture and wedding gown designer whose fashion has mostly been showcased in Dubai. All the photographs featured here are from his 2007 – 2009 collections. I couldn’t locate any information about his personal life or what inspires his work, but I think it’s unique and exotic. In some ways, many of his gowns remind me of those designed by the famed Alexander McQueen.

Annui Sui is an American fashion designer whose Fall 2010 collection was recently showcased during New York Fashion Week.
She described this collection as highlighting a “witty layering of vintage prints shot with shimmering metallic thread; deco tulips, cubist flowers, woodblock peonies, chrysanthemum paisleys, floral fireworks … often in my signature combo collages.”
In lieu of posting the usual ‘weekly fashion finds’, we’d like to pay tribute to Alexander McQueen, whose designs won him the British Designer of the Year award in 1996, 1997, 2001, and 2003.
Pictured left is the ‘Oyster’ dress from the Spring 2003 collection, which is now on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
From the Met’s blog: “The premise of Alexander McQueen’s spring/summer 2003 presentation was of a shipwreck at sea and a consequent landfall in the Amazon. Critics lauded McQueen for his designs because they retained the theatrical and transporting impact of the presentation but also yielded wearable and desirable fashions. The ‘Oyster’ dress, while dramatic in its sweep and red-carpet authority, benefits even further by close examination. As Women’s Wear Daily noted, ‘Fabulous though this presentation was, the clothes are better up close, revealing a mind-boggling degree of creativity and work.’ Attached to a beautifully fitted and boned corset, the voluminous skirt is comprised of hundreds of graduated layers of ivory organza. Like a mille-feuille pastry, each layer both conforms to and detaches itself from every other layer of silk. With a post-modernist’s irony and deconstructivist’s preference for worn effects, the silk is left with an unfinished, raw, cut edge. Elsewhere on the gown, silk chiffon is conscientiously pieced and applied to create a slightly matte surface to the bodice and left unfinished as it extends at the shoulders to curdle along its edges like kelp or skin after an exfoliating burn.”
The Oyster dress is only one of several stunning designs by McQueen, who recently passed away on February 11, 2010.
He is also known for his zany ensembles for music artists such as Björk and Lady Gaga.
In memoriam of McQueen, Björk wrote:
“i would like to thank you for all your inspiration
it was so important to me to get to work with you and your team
a real mashup of fertile minds
it was vital to my development
i’m grateful”
