the Rug Company Goes Royal....Alexander McQUEEN....love...

To say that the passing of Alexander McQueen came as a total shock doesn’t get close to what a tragedy his death meant to the world of design.  His innovative, forward-thinking and passionate emotion that he thrust into his work maybe was the end all for him.  Maybe he gave so much that it left him feeling THAT empty.  I don’t know…for someone as talented as him to take their own life leaves me so baffled.

Thank goodness his work lives on and his iconic look (i.e skull) can be re-lived with the Rug Company’s edition of four area rugs and three cushions.  I love how his historical-meets-modern world-meets edgy-meets fantasy-meets genius perfectly translates to the Rug Company’s motto of “meticulous craftsmanship with that extra ingredient, the talent of the world’s most distinguished and experienced designers. They know how to combine modern design flair with traditional techniques. They reinvigorate this age-old craft and make us look at the rug with a fresh eye. Together we create rugs that we believe to be precious, unique and to have long-lasting value”.

Enjoy.
