That Fashion Chick {TBT}: Alexander McQueen Exhibit {Met Ball}

It's always humbling and soothing to take a trip down memory lane. That Fashion Chick has really been doing its thing {patience is a virtue we possess}.

That Fashion Chick, LLC is creating its own fashion space for true fashion chicks and all fashion lovers. We focus on the art and craft of fashion, to inspire and be inspired by all genres of style. 

Fashion blogging turned into a new fashion love, when initially I was just trying something new {it wasn't popular at all...shoot, I was even laughed at for my fashion degree but NOW fashion is at an all-time high *gotta laugh and follow your instincts*..do YOU young chicks} 

My first blog ever was called 'What's on the Gals Mind', in which I designed and did a lot of the posting. It was never a part of the plan, but heeey I'm a fashion marketer too *wink, wink*. Inspiration is the aim {give and take}. Cheers to the Fashion Life!

TFC Thursday, April 14, 2011:

On May 2 the annual Met Ball kicks off the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute's new exhibit, Savage Beauty, a display of the late iconic designer, Alexander McQueen's work.

Alexander McQueen is truly missed. His work lives on and this is a great way of displaying a piece of his legacy.  I always saw his pieces as moving art; a true inspiration for me as a designer.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2013 Runway Show Canceled

Due to the expectation of twins in February, Sarah Burton was forced to cancel the upcoming Alexander McQueen Fall 2013 runway show. Instead, Burton will show the Fall 2013 collection to a group of about 100 editors on March 5th, followed by appointments for buyers later that evening according to WWD.

Burton isn't the only designer to pull out of fashion week {Peter Som, Chris Benz, and Katie Holmes have also announced that they're skipping out this season} but maternity leave is a pretty solid reason. Though we are sad to hear about the show, twins are a big deal.

Congratulation Sarah, we wish you a smooth delivery.
