Alexander McQueen's Best Creations in the Pages of W Magazine

Alexander McQueen once said that, "People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination." That ethos was apparent in each of the collection the British designer created. His genius lied in the fact that his clothing could evoke such narrative and fantasy without overpowering the strong women who wore his designs. The McQueen women was a one who had seen the brutality and ugliness in the word, but have survived and overcome it to wear her femininity as a defiant armor. McQueen's flare for the dramatic was not only evident in the many fashion shows that transgressed the commercial and crossed over into theater, but also in the ways that others utilized his clothes. Whether on friends and muses like Daphne Guinness or Sarah Jessica Parker, or in the imagery of musical artists like Björk and Lady Gaga, McQueen's garments always told a story. It's for that reason as well that he was such a favorite amongst magazine stylist and fashion photographers. Often, McQueen had already done half their work for them when it came to making a transfixing image. On what would have been the designer's 49th birthday, look back at McQueen's best work in the pages of W as captured by photographers like Mert & Marcus, Inez & Vinoodh, Camilla Nickerson, Craig McDean and others.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans .

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
