The spring 2008 collection was called 'La Dame Bleue' and was a tribute to his mentor and friend Isabella Blow who had committed suicide on May of 2007 after a long bout of illness. His statement of the show was this; 'Isabella flew. The collection is exuberant and excessive. It's about her way of thinking and that way of thinking brought light into fashion. Even when she was down she was up with what she wore. I had the best times with Isabella. I remember going to Mauritius with her and I'd come back from scuba diving and it would be 100 degrees and she'd be standing on the beach head to toxin McQueen with a Philip Treacy Hat on. Or we'd be sitting around the pool and she'd still be head to toe in McQueen with a Philip Treacy hat on. I've though a lot about why she would wear things like that and she wore them because it made her feel like a diva. She was a diva in what she wore. She pulled it off. I never blinked at what she wore. It just seemed normal. So this was a collection about Isabella ad about wearing clothes that transform you." The entire show was a beautiful testament to someone he loved dearly. This dress is a version that combines the look of the one shoulder dresses in the same colour combination and the strapless butterfly dresses that were shown on the runway that season. It would have been one that was produced for the shops as an alternative to the runway piece.  This was the fifth last collection of his career and these last collections are considered to be some of his most brilliant. 

The dress is made from a black bias cut silk that drapes beautifully over the body. t is strapless with a built-in inner cupped bodice that gives you support and holds the dress in place. The cups are shaped for support and to hold the dress properly in place. The top of the bodice has a slight curve to add some softness and then the silk drapes over that. The dress glides over the inner structure and falls in column to the floor. The silk is gathered in towards the center of the front so it is full through the body. At the back it is cut to be fuller and create more volume. There are two opening at each side of the back and you can slip that bright pink patent belt through those which gives shape at the front and then the back has that gorgeous volume over the belt. You could also do the opposite so that the belt only shows at the back and the front has the fullness. The choice of that feather light silk for this one keeps it light and easy and as you move the silk billows around you. It also creates this incredible movement when you walk. The dress is original supermodel length and still has its original tags attached. It is spectacularly beautiful. Excellent condition with a minor note below 

Fully lined in a black bias cut silk and has a built in cupped corset. The inner corset closes with its own zipper and the dress zips to close over that with a hidden set zipper. The belt snaps to close and shows some minor wear on its edges as shown. Tagged a McQueen 44. The inner corset has some stretch. You could have the inner corset adjusted if you needed more or less room. Buttons on the inner bodice to add straps if you wanted. Has its original tags attached

Mom of 3 recommend!
Size: 5T-6T, Unit Count: 14
I'm using these again for the 3rd time and they're great as always. My 3rd is still having some issues at night time with bed wetting, and as they get older the bigger the mess, so these truly hold up to a full bladder. And they don't smell by morning like some diaper brands. I'm usually against pull ups, but these are great for up and down ease of use and that added protection when it comes to potty training. I love the bigger size inclusion for larger children which we struggle with for comfort compared to other brands.

Approved by an Overnight Registered Nurse, Has worked great last 4 years!
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I have worked overnight as a Registered Nurse for the last 4 of 6 years and I will offer my own experience on how these pills have helped me in my job performance. To start of with I have to say that no two human beings are the same so before I bought these pills I read the good and bad reviews and wasn't sure on the product. I've had heart palpitations in the past from excess caffeine when I drank one of the blue pop top Rock Stars with 1.5 times the caffeine as regular Rock Star and I can say that no, it's not fun at all. I've also experienced when I drink to much caffeine at once and find myself either visiting the restroom many times during a shift, or the crash that comes after the initial burst of energy. Anyways, I can say that with ONE pill a shift prior to going to work, I am able to stay awake and not in a forceful manner without the many negative effects from caffeine that I've experienced in the past. Working night shifts, I've seen how many co-workers need to chain drink coffee all night. I can't say that I don't like coffee, but I don't drink it more than once a week and I prefer not too if I have the chance. This is why I am glad that the Guarana Energizer has worked for me. I am able to be more alert all shift long, not have to struggle with energy or struggle with staying awake, and when I get home I not too wired where I have a hard time going to sleep. On my days off it also works as an excellent energy booster for the mornings to get your energy level going for your day ahead. Also, I've tried other guarana pills when the Source Naturals were no longer in stock (same 900 mg strength), and I have to say that I had to take more than 2 pills per shift to keep me awake, plus they never lasted a full shift. Don't know why the "energizer" term makes a difference, but it does for me. I recommend it to all my co-workers, and when they feel low on energy I've seen that even 1/2 a tab is sufficient for a little pick me up especially for those sensitive to caffeine.

The best guarana I've used - helped me kick energy drinks!
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I suppose I ought to stand in front of a group of people, and admit to being a caffeine addict. However, I rather like caffeine. I started in on caffeine at an early age- first by drinking soda- mostly cola- as often as my parents would allow. As a teenager, I discovered coffee. Later, it was espresso drinks- I loved a good quad-shot latte, and eventually was getting several a day. A few years ago, my stomach stopped agreeing with coffee as much, so I switched to energy drinks. I was drinking about 4 Rockstars a day. After doing the math, I realized that I was spending around $300 a month on these silly beverages. To economize, I switched to No-Doz. However, it wasn't the same, and it honestly felt... unnatural. The No-Doz sometimes aggravated my stomach, and I just didn't feel as well. Then I tried Guarana, as it is one of the main functional ingredients in many energy drinks. Love it. It seems to last a bit longer (it could be my imagination there, I am unsure), and it definitely feels more natural. I take a few of these per day- and I seem to have less of a "caffeine crash" after 4 hours or so than I once did. It still happens, but it's more gentle. My only complaint is that the pills are rather large- definitely a chore to swallow! Bottom line- this stuff costs just a bit more than a bottle of No-Doz, and is made from natural stuff. It feels healthier, and probably is. I now spend in a month wha I spent in a day on energy drinks. Also- for what it's worth- I've tried other brands of guarana, and this one "feels" best.

Worked well for a few days, then built up a tolerance
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
Guarana for me is one of those things that you should only take every once and a while. It gave me a nice surge of energy for about an hour or so after taking one, then after only a few mornings of taking one I noticed the effect completely wore off. So I stopped taking it for about a week. Then tried taking it again and it still did nothing. Maybe it's just my body, but now I need at least two to notice any effect. It's not that I even feel more alert now, it just makes me feel like I drank to much coffee. I will finish the bottle and then will not buy it again. Different supplements work differently for everyone though! Just because this didn't work for me longterm, that's not to say it won't work wonderfully for you. Trial and error is key with anything like this.
