A small tribute to Alexander McQueen

February 12, 2010 Paris B 5 Comments

I’m no fashionista.

I recognize the names of fashion designers but put me in a booth and offer me RM1 million to tell me who designed that dress on the model and I’d rather tell you to forget it. I’m no good at these things. So I don’t do tributes.

But when I found out this morning that Alexander McQueen had passed on ostensibly from suicide, I felt a little wrench. You see, one of my favourite perfumes ever is by Alexander McQueen – Kingdom.

  • Save

I bought my first during a sale. The scent is strong – musky and distinctive and overtly sensual. I don’t smell it on many women and I know of many who don’t like it at all. But I do! 😀 Best worn at night although if you spray it sparingly, you can pull it off for the day.

But a little while ago while I was at Lane Crawford Hong Kong, I smelt a lighter version of Kingdom in the air. Sniffing the air like a hound led me to the Alexander McQueen perfume counter where there was a limited edition Kingdom for sale in a lighter fresher formulation.

  • Save

The bottle is gold instead of the distinctive red and there is a picture of some Roman/Greek scupltures of Aphrodite and Galatea on the background. As it is limited edition, I don’t think its available anymore.

That is my singular experience with anything Alexander McQueen. May he rest in peace.

    Was he not the dude who made Sarah Jessica Parker’s kilt-thingy dress at the Costume Institute gala thingy a few years back? Haihz… Creative people always have a short life span…

    May he rest in peace. I’m no fashionista either but he did design a MAC collection in 07 so that’s enough for me. I have the MSF in New Vegas with Alexander McQueen written across the lid

    He’s an awesome designer. There’s this skull ring of his I’ve been hankering after. He’s some form of genius that had me gobsmacked at his design. I’m heartbroken 🙁

First discovered Lotion P50 over 7 years ago in Pa First discovered Lotion P50 over 7 years ago in Paris. It was incredibly hard to get hold of it in Malaysia at the time. Fast forward 7 years and countless bottles later it’s now easily available at the Ambassade Biologique Recherche at Starhill @biologique_recherche_kl (contact them and ask and they can even send stuff to you if you don’t have the time to go down town) 

Review in detail on the blog. Search Lotion P50.
