Graphicology: à la mode x Helen Huang Christmas Postcard 2010

We have been promoting it since mid November and now the image of the postcard is finally revealed here! This postcard is based on the last outfit of Alexander McQueen F/W 2010 collection and we pay our final tribute to the great fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen.

Here is what Helen Huang has to say about the inspiration of this master piece:

"Alexander McQueen was a genius, a truly master of visual art. I am still blown away every time when I see his work and this piece is my tribute to him.

This image is based on the final outfit of Alexander McQueen’s 2010 fall/winter collection. The color palette also comes from this collection and I do feel the color red is full of life and passion. The golden feathers represent an angelic dove, ready to take wing. On the left, there is the grid which represents a net that entrapped her. Love and hope are represented by the doves and the light on the right. The theme of this piece is about the inner struggle for freedom."

We are also getting rave reviews from the people whom have received the postcard and here is one of them:

"Helen Huang’s illustration of a golden jacket handcrafted from feathers and a mass of angelic beaded white tulle for the à la mode holiday postcard is a poignant reminder of the fashion world’s stunning loss. The image is a lovely tribute to Lee Alexander McQueen and his posthumous 2010 fall/winter collection." - The Fashionist

"When I received my postcard from Marcus in the mail I had no idea what I was receiving. The stunning image of McQueen's final masterpiece beautifully paired with a deep red and gave it such a holiday feel. It is by far the most creative holiday card I've recieved. I have it sitting on my desk right next to my computer while I work for inspiration." - Scot Woodman

"Thank you again! The McQueen christmas card is gorgeous and already hung up on my wall! :)" - Emily Taylor 

"'Red is the new Black.' is my slogan for 2011, and this postcard illustrates it to perfection. The dramatic hair, the stunning Alexander McQueen dress, and of course the touch of red, remind me that being bold and being yourself is what matters after all. For 2011, Be Fearless and True to yourself, show the world what you're made of, Be on fire. Happy Holidays to the [à la mode] Team!" - Miss SLY

Next year, we will be working on another Christmas postcard so keep an eye on our next collaboration in November 2011! Thank you for participating our giveaway and we hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
