Just earlier this year in February, the fashion world lost one of it’s most eclectic and creative geniuses, Alexander McQueen. McQueen is known for his daring and often avant-garde sense of style. Many of his pieces were beautifully and intricately constructed with an expert eye for pattern and detail, albeit majority were shockingly risque and most definitely reserved for the truly fashionably daring. Undeniably unique, Alexander McQueen designs soon garnered a fan-base of the most fashionable celebrity risk-takers, including Madonna, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, David Bowie and Bjork. Sadly, the light and genius of this one-of-a-kind designer was cut short right before his own show at New York Fashion Week this year, leaving the fashion world in shock and sorrow.The “Alexander McQueen: Genius of a Generation” book by Kristin Knox is a vibrant tribute to the late designer. Filled with photographs from his unforgettable runway shows, including pieces from his last collection, as well as quotes, stories and anecdotes from friends and fashion peers. Whether or not Alexander McQueens’ brash couture agrees with your personal aesthetics or not, there is no denying the genius behind the creative force that was Alexander Mqueen. After all, he did receive the British Designer of the Year Award four times. The “Alexander McQueen: Genius of a Generation” book is a must-have for any fashion buff and makes a great gift for all your fashionable friends, and for $29.00 at Urban Outfitters, this colorful tribute is worth every penny. Where to buy: Urban OutfittersPrice: $29.00Who Found It: Idabone was the first to add the ‘Alexander McQueen: Genius of a Generation’ to the Hive.

I’m not going to lie, I’m very on the fence about these Alexander Wang Abbey Ankle-Strap Sandals. This is definitely a type of shoe that’s either love it or hate it, no grey area in between, and I can see arguments for both sides. While they’re a little too soccer-mom-meets-catwoman for my liking, they are undoubtedly a unique take on the heeled sandal. The interesting shape is a pro, but the fact that the shape leans a little more towards resembling a clog? Con. But maybe I’m not looking at this in the right way. Sure, they’re sandals, but they definitely aren’t summery, so how about pairing the super edgy and fashion forward heeled sandal-clogs with something super edgy to match? A trendy pair of distressed black skinny jeans and a leather jacket maybe? Think they look a little too costume-y? Take it all the way and try a leather (or pleather) bodysuit and a mini-van. Of course, being Alexander Wang, these shoes were never meant for the conservatively fashion anyway. What do you think? Is this high-heeled Alexander Wang Ankle-strap Sandal a hit or a miss? And what would you wear it with?Price: $148.50Where to Buy: Net-a-PorterWho Found it: Idabone was the first to add the Alexander Wang Abbey Ankle-Strap Sandals to the Hive.
