Motorcycle Madness

This clutch.


I was fortunate enough to try it on at the Alexander McQueen store in Las Vegas.  The glove fits perfectly and it detaches from the bag by snaps.  It's my dream bag at the moment.  Anyone spare $875?

Remember Now


Can anyone spare $6,000?  I'd love to add this red number to my wardrobe.  Alexander McQueen never fails to reawaken my passion for fashion.  Look forward to a full review on his Spring 2010 collection.

Welcome to "Tres Chic En Vie"!

First of all, thank you for visiting my new site!

Secondly, a little background about myself: I'm an undergraduate college student at an ivy league institution with a secret obsession on all things haute couture.

Thirdly, I obsess over fashion, but what's the direction of this blog? This blog has gone through many drafts as I have developed and refined my passions for fashion mostly in the privacy of my online journal. Through the comments of my friends on various "posts," I have created my direction from wishlists stemming from Urban Outfitters and Shopbop.com to the classic designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond. Ultimately, I hope to illustrate the glamour, wonder, and reality of fashion.

So without further or do, I would love to present my first Spotlight Designer - and who better to do this on than non-other than the master himself, Alexander McQueen? Inspired by a trip to India, McQueen developed a storyline for his collection that begins in nature where a young girl within a tree breaks free and becomes a princess. The transformation is visually breath-taking. Behold:


In the darkness of the 600-year-old tree:



















































Beginning to break free from the darkness:





































































Becoming a Princess:
























































Being Royalty (notice the deeply rich and bold primary colors):























































The Queen has arrived:
