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 value, excellent product!!!!!
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the best shampoo I’ve ever used. No joke. . I used to spend $42 per bottle of Pureology Hydrate Sheer for years. One day I forgot to bring shampoo when I travelled and considering I am allergic to most shampoos since I was a child, I went to Whole Foods Market and bought this, as I already use the excellent Babo 50 SPF sunscreen. . That was over 4 years ago and I’ve bought this on repeat. Just bought 2 more bottles because I fear they stop making this. . The package is a little quirky. So I put it in a reusable pretty bottle in my shower. . My hair is ash blonde, baby fine and highlighted, about shoulder length. This shampoo is safe for daily use, it is lightly scented with a very faint mango/flower scent that is barely there after you rinse it. . I’ve experience no build up. Before using this, when I was using Pureology, I had to use a clarifying shampoo once a week, otherwise my hair felt like greasy straws. . Since using this shampoo, I no longer have to do that. My hair is clean, soft, can’t understand the volume and shine after I use this. . My $200 per haircut hair stylist kept paying me compliments, thinking I’ve upped my hair routine with masks, heat protecting spray and all the nonsense. NOPE. I just wash with this shampoo. . Ps- sometimes I use Babo’s Baobab & Rosehip Conditioner in the light peachy pink container, sometimes I use another conditioner. Regardless, I’d pay twice as much for this shampoo. . Exceptional.!

Color-treated hair that looks fabulous!
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I received a small sample of this shampoo as part of a Whole Foods 12 Days of Beauty holiday promotion. Normally those boxes are loaded with third-rate products the store is trying to promote. Well, not this time. I was desperate to find a shampoo that would clean my color-treated but very, very fine hair without stripping the color or weighing it down with far too much moisture - bordering on greasy. This shampoo has really been a game changer for me (going grey or shaving my head were considerations). It gently cleans my hair (and scalp) with no down-side results, and smells divine. My hair looks healthy & fluffy (no greasiness!) all day long and even into the following day. Added bonus - genuine shine. I must add that I have pretty short hair so I honestly don’t need much to clean me up, although I do wash it daily. The amount in the carton is smaller than a lot of brands out there but, in my situation, I feel I am getting value for my money. My expensive dye-job looks awesome every single day - so you’ve gotta weigh your choices. It’s working well for me and it just might be a solution for you but you won’t know unless you try it.

Nourishing mango & hibiscus - LOVE!!
Scent: Mango & Hibiscus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was looking for a clean nontoxic alternative to my usually shampoo and conditioner. I’ve alternated around between the expensive salon-grade and Sephora products for the past 10 years. I thought I’d give Babo’s new shampoo and conditioner a try because I love the body wash. I love this stuff! It makes my hair so clean and soft. For reference, my hair type is straight and fine, but I have a lot of hair. I’m brunette and haven’t colored it in over a year. I noticed the shampoo doesn’t foam up as much as other shampoos I use, but my hair still comes out clean and I can usually go 5 days between shampooing again (I double shampoo my roots which helps). I also noticed the conditioner is a little more on the milkier/thinner side, which makes sense for the products to have more flow to them because they are in cartons meant to pour. I still use my usual leave-in conditioner spray and some hair oil after I wash and it all works great together. Overall I love the shampoo + conditioner, they smell great, they cost less than my usual products and they’re clean ingredients so it’s a win win. Worth a try!
