Selfrideges Alexander McQueen display involving a over-sized lamp and a black McQueen dress hanging from it in their Manchester store has caused talk about it’s inappropriateness because of the designers suicide a few months ago. He hanged himself in his London apartment a while ago and the store has now apologized for it’s in-sensitive window display:

“Presenting a fashion item from the new Alexander McQueen collection hanging was never intended to be linked to the designer’s untimely death or how he died,” it said. “Nearly all the new season items from our new window scheme, The Desirables, showcased in both our London and Manchester stores, are hung artistically on their own to present them as even more extraordinary. However, we do acknowledge that, in retrospect, presenting the dress in our Manchester Exchange Square store in this way was a mistake, and would like to apologise if this particular window has upset anyone. The dress has been removed and replaced by another designer’s garment.”

Visionaire‘s tribute to Alexander McQueen, cleverly titled A Tribute to Lee Alexander McQueen, will cost $295 a copy. But the pictures are so pretty! And since they decided to put it in a box, they can’t really sell it for anything less than that. [FabSugar]

Update: The title of the book is actually Visionaire 58 Spirit, A Tribute to Lee Alexander McQueen. And in case you’re really wondering why it’s so pricey, consider this: The pages are made from seeded paper, embedded with wild flowers that, if planted and properly tended to, will bloom real flowers. The boxed set, which is limited to 1,500 numbered copies, is also wrapped in a McQueen metalized brocade from the spring/summer 2010 show.

This is the first collection from Alexander McQueen’s successor: Sarah Burton. And it’s looking quite good too! I must admit it’s all looking very royal and couture.

I’m simply adoring the maxi evening dresses and the fierce cuts of the shown pieces. I’m hoping Sarah won’t dilute Alexander McQueen’s daringness and edginess, all in the name of femininity and couture. What say you? (via)

Julia Restoin Roitfeld is probably one of the world’s coolest style icons. But when your mom is French Vogue’s editor in chief it’s no wonder. Following the sartorial choices of Carine’s chic spawn continues to provide inspiration to the fashionable set.  Apparently Vogue.co.uk shares our fascination; the site has been chronicling Julia’s outfit choices throughout the month of June with a personal style diary of sorts. Think 30 days of designers like Balmain, Alexander Wang, and  DVF, mixed with accessories from Tom Ford, Miu Miu, Cartier and Rolex.  Fusing her Parisian flair with a distinct Downtown vibe, Restoin Roitfeld is certainly one to watch.
