Alexander McQueen

Last weekend marked the ending of the highly successful Alexander McQueen tribute exhibition at the MET Museum in New York. The sad passing left a void in the top tier of the creative visions of the fashion world. Luckily McQueen left a broad legacy that will always inspire people no matter what collection you liked the most. As far as McQueen merchandise, we all remember when the first version of his skull print scarf hit the market, people went crazy to say the least. Eventually that all over skull print trickled down to every single store who sold their take on the scarf.
We love this new updated skull print scarf, very royal and stoic, the soft navy makes this a versatile scarf for every occasion. We love it tied around the Mailbag from Clutch Bags in the beautiful silver leather.
