What a treat! You look amazing in your baggy jeans and cargos - perfect on you! And thank you so much for your incredible shots from the exhibit. Spectacular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318298 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 11:46:14 +0000 CarolS 2318298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this but just wanted to say how much I love both the jeans and the cargo pants on you. And the brilliance of overdying to get the colours you want is just out of this world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318292 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 11:03:34 +0000 Brooklyn 2318292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jessi. I’m totally into the 90s vibe too.</p> <p>Bijou, thanks. I’m sorry you and yours have Covid. I hope you are all on the mend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318291 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 11:00:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2318291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey ST, yes, the original blue colour affects the outcome. Because my jeans are quite a light in parts, they take up the dye well. But the darker bits just go a darker blue. For the teal pair I dyed my jeans dark green (rather than teal). They came out quite dark but definitely have a teal cast on the lighter parts. The darker parts just look inky blue. For the burgundy pair I plan to do a mix of scarlet and aubergine (going heavy on the scarlet because the jeans are already blue). I’ve been doing some tests on old jeans belonging to my DH. Not the same denim but it gives an indication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318286 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 10:44:57 +0000 Anonymous 2318286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow to the exibition- and the outfits fit the vibe! I've been thinking of overdying one of my pairs of jeans- either teal, black, or just much darker blue. Wouldn't dyeing blue denim with burgundy just make them purple? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318284 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 08:37:31 +0000 Jessikams 2318284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab jeans! Like Angie I am into BIG pants at the moment. It does remind me of the 90s in the best way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318279 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 06:03:07 +0000 Bijou 2318279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn thank you for taking us on this amazing break with you. AMcQ is a hero of mine. His styles look so fresh. The construction is amazing. </p> <p>You really look like you belong in the exhibit too. I love the new jeans and cargo pants. I’m so happy you had a wonderful time. My DS caught Covid and DH and I have now succumbed to the germs. DS was hardly ill, but we are both laid up in bed. Your post has been the highlight of my day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318277 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 05:39:26 +0000 Brooklyn 2318277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! It was fantastic to get away, spend time with friends, and go to a blockbuster exhibition. It’s the first time post Covid I’ve felt fairly normal. We even ate indoors. That’s a particularly good experience in Melbourne. They do stylish eating very well.</p> <p>Thanks also for not being negative about the jeans. I didn’t mean to be defensive but jeans are such a hard fit for me. And I love the way these fit so much. I’ve actually bought 3 pairs now. The second pair I’ve already overdyed green for a teal effect. The third pair I’m going to overdye burgundy. That should set me up pretty well for winter.</p> <p>Olive Green, thanks for “louche and strict”. That’s so good! (And louche is a word I should use more often.)</p> <p>Xtabay, how exciting that you saw it too! I think it was a bit of a coup for the NGV.</p> <p>Angie, nope, no faded blue near my face. I am faded enough already. But thanks for being so nice :)</p> <p>Tanya, Suz, LJP, BlueJay, Jonesy, Dee, Janet, Bonnie, Kkards, pirouette, Indigoprint, Sal, Nikki, slim cat, Roberta, Irina and everyone, the exhibit was wonderful. His premature death is such a loss to the world. I love how bold and provocative his designs and shows were, while still paying homage to history and tradition. I wish big fashion exhibits came here more often. Very inspirational. And a great reminder to DYOT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318271 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 00:38:04 +0000 Irina 2318271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing trip!

Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318256 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 20:27:14 +0000 Sal 2318256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful escape weekend. It sounds and looks like a real tonic. The exhibition looks brilliant - what a talent.</p> <p>Your wardrobe choices are perfect. Special love for the cargos and the layered dress along with the 90s lipstick! The jeans look great too and I am pleased you are enjoying them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318241 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 18:58:29 +0000 BlueJay 2318241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Brooklyn</b>, for the pictures of the exhibit! It looks really amazing. I was so sad to learn of his passing. He was a genius!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love all the clothes you brought and the really creative ways you put them together (I would expect no less!) I have the same black BR wrap top -- awesome over the dress! I never would have thought of it. Your hair look fantastic both ways.<br />You look so "louche and strict" and "cool girl"!<br /><b>Have a wonderful trip with your friends!</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318240 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 18:58:21 +0000 Jonesy 2318240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing exhibit (his tailoring skills and vision were so fantastic!) and I am loving your big distressed jeans and those cargo pants!

My fave is the crochet dress with wrap top. I have tried something similar but with sleeves. Love the look with sleeveless pieces very much ❤️ You do you well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318221 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 16:58:19 +0000 kkards 2318221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The show looks amazing. &nbsp;How fun to have a girls weekend and see the show.&nbsp;<div>YLF love the baggy jeans, and love how the blazer worked with both the jeans and the dress! &nbsp;But those cargos! &nbsp;Wow they are just so fab! &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318206 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 16:02:27 +0000 slim cat 2318206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic show and fabulous outfits!

The exhibit looks amazing and I loved the curator's explanations as well. Those clothes! So interesting, intricate, and intelligently constructed (or deconstructed, as the case may be) -- in the textures and layering and power I can see how his style has influenced your own and I love what you wore this whole weekend. Your outfits all nod to his genius while also being perfectly wearable.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, thank you for the reminder that we can boss our clothes around. I have a few tops I plan to shorten to hip length . . .</p> <p>Your outfits are sensational, one and all! The new jeans <b>do </b>look baggy to me, and very cool girl. Love the juxtaposition with the jacket. Yet another clever dye job with the dress -- you must spend a lot of time searching out the right pieces for this kind of layering and you always make it so unique. I love, love, love, <b>LOVE </b>the cargos on you. Amazing!&nbsp;</p> <p>So great to have had a holiday with friends after so much time in various lockdowns!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318199 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 15:06:07 +0000 Anonymous 2318199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the McQueen show at the LA County Museum, and Mr. Xtabay had to drag me out of there. &nbsp;I couldn’t get enough!</p> <p>Love your looks — McQueen would probably try to put you in the exhibit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318192 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 14:35:20 +0000 Bonnie 2318192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like a wonderful exhibit and I hope it comes to my area. You look like you could be one of the models.

Looks like a great exhibition.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking KILLER FABULOUS as always, <b>Brooklyn</b>! Nice to see a close-up of you in #4. Makes me "get to know you better"!</p> <p>Loving the modern retro integrity of your very wavy hair! Adds extra texture to your outfits.</p> <p>#7 and #8 are my faves!&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I can't imagine you looking anything but super gorgeous in a blue denim jacket! Faded like the jeans. Or you can paint gold foil on it ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318189 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 14:25:47 +0000 Roberta 2318189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm filled with admiration and envy for your excursion and what you wore , and cannot say it better than Olive Green did - strict and louche. Like McQueen himself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318181 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 13:05:07 +0000 LJP 2318181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of eye candy here ! &nbsp;Your new slouchy jeans are really interesting and don't look as "out there" as they do on the model. &nbsp;Super fashion forward and great to wear on this trip &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318179 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 12:22:52 +0000 Olive Green 2318179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the combo of strict and louche in your outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318173 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 12:04:32 +0000 Tanya 2318173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, what a fantastic trip and exhibition!&nbsp; It looks like you had a blast.&nbsp; I am huge fan of McQueen designs.</p> <p>All of your outfit are beyond amazing, I in awe.&nbsp; &nbsp;I am coming over to steal that crochet dress. And the cargo pants have been styled to perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-mcqueen#post-2318171 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 11:57:12 +0000 Brooklyn 2318171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>I went to Melbourne with some girlfriends to see the McQueen exhibition at the NGV: “Mind, Mythos, Muse”. First plane trip since 2018!</p> <p>First, a few WIWs. Night time photos are a bit choppy due to space and light constraints at the hotel.</p> <p>Pics 2-3 (first day): I wore my new “extreme baggy Dad jeans”. They are not “extremely” baggy on me but (miraculously) they are indeed loose from the hips down. I haven’t felt this comfortable in jeans since the 1990s! I’m fine with the distressing/whiskering. (You do you.) Allsaints tee, which I shortened to hip length. New water resistant Ecco combat boots and old Zara jacket (worn throughout the trip).</p> <p>Pics 4-6 (dinner): I wore a long crochet dress. It was sold as a Summer item but it’s a very heavy cotton and too hot for my Summer. Good for transitional weather. On the first night I wore a long cotton dress underneath in pale emerald green (DIY dye job from white). A wrap top and combat boots to casualise it. On the second night I wore it with a wine coloured dress underneath (also a DIY dye job), and straight hair, to change up the look (no photo). </p> <p>Pic 7 (second day/McQueen): Oversized “anti-fit” cargo pants with sleeveless turtleneck top. Jacket and boots again. </p> <p>Pics 8-9 (third day): This was the warmest day. I wore the wrap top from night 1 again, jeans, jacket, boots again.</p> <p>Pics 10-28: Highlights from the exhibition. It was hot and crowded but it was fantastic. The exhibition went into some detail about the various sources (historical, artistic and cultural) from which McQueen drew inspiration. I am in awe of McQueen’s skills and artistry. “Sabotage and tradition”. Loved it </p>
