An Ode to McQueen

In honour of the late Alexander McQueen, may I suggest making a bold statement with your fashion? Too many times we try to slip into the crowd, we are too afraid to stand out, to be noticed. McQueen's fashion bordered on shocking and at times extreme, yet these tactics brought him the British Designer of the Year award four times.

Take a stand with your clothing once in a while!

Does this mean you have to walk around dressed as Lady Gaga? Not necessarily. Instead of plain leggings, why not try shiny leggings, pair it with a sexy lace top or a graphic tee and an oversized belt. Your bold, yet sexy look will cause you to stand out and get noticed in the right way.

Here's to Alexander McQueen. For his gutsy maneuvers in the fashion industry, his defiant spirit and refusal to stick to the norm - his fashion sense will always be an inspiration.
