Snow Queen: Maxi Dresses

I spotted on Topshop's website a while ago their trend feature titled SNOW QUEEN and it really excited me. With gorgous pastel neutral tones and beautiful textures layered upon one another. The word to describe it is "mesmerizing".
The key piece for me was the stunning chiffon beaded maxi dress, which is perfect to wear for the winter season, capturing the essence of the theme Snow Queen. 
This inspired me to post my 12 favourite 'Snow Queen' inspired maxi dresses, of course starting with the Topshop wonder:

Rah Rah and a Gaga-Ga with a splashing of McQueen

Bonjour kittens and other fluffy people. Been meaning to post my illustration of Lady Gaga wearing the stunning outfit by the late Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 collection. This is one of a few illustrations I have drawn in memory of the amazing Alexander McQueen. He was a huge inspiration not only to be but also the world. So this is very small token of my love and respect for a very talented icon. I hope you all like.
The following images are of Gaga wearing the outfit in her 'Bad Romance' music video and the catwalk photo of McQueen's magnifiscent collection.

And to say goodbye, the delightful song itself:

So long, fare well; Alexander McQueen

Today has been a funny ole day. But to top it all is the sadness of Alexander McQueen's tragic death. It's oh so sad. I can't quite believe it. Only the other day was I talking about the marvel. And now this. It's such a sad situation. Here are two video clips to celebrate the talented innovator. These montages portray the magic his collections possess and present why he is so loved.
