Bejeweled Armoured Yashmak By Shaun Leane for Alexander McQueen: Spring/Summer (2000)

Designed for McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2000 collection, which initially explored the clashing of Middle Eastern and Western cultures, The Yashmak, a veil concealing all of the face except the eyes, which is worn by some Muslim women in public. This metal Yashmak is part of a collection of jewelry that was designed for Alexander McQueen by Leane, who was not only a collaborator of McQueen’s, but also a good friend. Considered to be one of the top twenty most spectacular pieces in McQueen’s oeuvre, the Yashmak is created from aluminum plates cast from molds. The plates are linked by chains and inset at the center with red, Cabochon Swarovski crystals.

Met Gala 2023.

Fashions change, but there is one look that never goes out of style.

And you bet your a*s it's an itty-bitty-kitty wearing a French Net. But this is not just any kitty-cat: this is Choupette, of the late, great fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld for #met gala 2023. 

This year, the great, good, and outrageously sexy gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the one and only, nEwWĕ yörKę citæyyyyy for the event known as "The Super Bowl of Fashion." Here, a sheer mass of the glitziest, most glam celebz sported pearls, starched collars, and black and white to honor the legendary German designer, who passed away in 2019. For this year's theme, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty", invite-only attendees were asked to wear clothes "in honor of Karl". And honor, they did, with an array of designs, dresses, and costumes to astonish, illuminate, and bedazzle. And dashboard beloveds Pedro Pascal, Lizzo, K.Stew, and Harvey Guillén turned heads and served, quite frankly.
