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

Great for Sensitive Skin
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m a 30 yr old woman with very sensitive skin, eczema, and dermatitis. Even Castile soap makes my scalp burn. I have tried many shampoos but all have caused scalp irritation almost immediately. Luckily I found this shampoo. It has a very nice, natural type of scent, which I love. It has never caused any irritation on my scalp. It does not lather as much as most shampoos, but it is just as effective at removing oil and skin buildup. I think it’s a good value given the organic ingredients and the care in avoiding harmful surfactants and other chemicals. This refill bag lasts me about 3 months and I have very long, almost waist length hair. I am very satisfied and I have bought this many times and will continue to do so. I hope the formula never changes!

For babies and fur babies
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great baby soap. It smells pleasant, lathers well and mostly importantly gets your baby clean without leaving them too dry. The ingredient list is quite healthy. I'm a fan. I've also used this on my pets with great success. My cat and dog both were washed with this. Their skin wasn't irritated, they weren't red looking nor did they have an allergic reaction to the product. I find this to be far better than anything actually for pets. For a small pet this bottle last quite a while. The larger pets you'd need to use more of it more so considering how dirty they can get. Overall for my family's needs this has been a very great buy.

One of the best kids products
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really nice baby and kid shampoo. Never had complaints about getting in eyes. Nice smell, clean. It's not cheap but probably one of the best out there.

Finally a great product
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Arrived well packaged and protected. Great scent, very gentle with my curly hair. Produces a nice lather and leaves hair feeling fresh and clean—not stripped. I also scanned it with Yuka and was really pleased with the good rating for ingredients, which was a big plus for me. Will buy again and try other products from the brand

No Babies, Just An Adult With Eczema
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
No babies here, I bought this for myself because I was recently diagnosed with Eczema and have been searching for something gentle and non-irritating but also natural and a shampoo/body wash combo for quickie showers. I was leaning toward something entirely unscented and marketed toward adult skin conditions, but I happened upon this, did some reading on their website and it actually looked pretty good, so I ordered. I was very curious how it would smell since some reviews say "it stinks" or it smells like men's cologne, etc. yet others say they loved the smell. It really shows how different preferences are, because to ME, I think perfumey mainstream shampoos "stink". I really like the scent of this but to try and help others I'll describe it as best as I can: It's an "earthy" first of all. Someone mentioned patchouli and while it's not nearly as strong as that, it is along the same lines as far as smelling sort of "woody". In the hair it smells a little like Sandalwood for those who know that smell. I have a good nose (and use a lot of essential oils) so right off the bat I picked up both bergamot and cedarwood and sure enough, checked the label and there they are. I could absolutely understand some people thinking of it as somewhat masculine, but it definitely doesn't smell like cologne in my opinion. I'm a little bit of a hippie/earthy type so it's right up my alley but if you prefer flowery, more mainstream scents from a drugstore shampoo you may not care for it. Seems like an unusual scent for a baby product I'll admit, but I like the scent nonetheless and would use it my baby if I had one. The scent remains after my hair is dry but only very lightly. If I lift my long hair to my nose and breathe in it's there but I don't think it's strong enough for anyone else to smell unless they're hugging me or something. I'm sensitive to most scents in bath/body products and this isn't at all overwhelming for me. It worked great, a little thin for my taste but I think all baby shampoos are that way, I can't remember. It made my hair feel soft even while still wet in the shower, and it felt nice and soft after it dried. It doesn't lather a whole lot, but I don't care about lather as long as it works. People tend to be fooled into thinking lather somehow equals effectiveness and that's not true. I've only used it once, but so far it has not aggravated my eczema which was my main reason for buying it, so that's good. My only complaint, and for me it's enough to stop me from buying it again, is the price! Now this is my own fault I realize, but I bought this not fully paying attention to the fact that it's 8 ounces. I saw the size, but it didn't register in my head how small that is. Now, I know nothing about bathing babies and how long a small bottle would last so maybe it's a fine size for that, but this little bottle won't last long at all using it as both shampoo and body wash for an adult, and there's no way I'll pay that much again now that I realize how small it actually is for the price. I saw a 16 ounces size, but it's still too pricey for my budget, I'll just opt for a natural sulfate-free shampoo for grownups when this bottle is done. Too bad too, because I do love the scent.
