The stars who attended Sunday’s event at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York definitely turned up the glam an extra notch.

Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection to Launch
[picapp align=”none” wrap=”false” link=”term=alexander+mcqueen&iid=7890751″ src=”0/c/9/c/Alexander_McQueen_London_cfac.jpg?adImageId=11647413&imageId=7890751″ width=”234″ height=”336″ /]
We miss Alexander McQueen. A lot.
So when I received an email today about the launch of the Alexander McQueen Men’s underwear collection for Autumn / Winter 2010, I had mixed feelings. But I was happy to know that the Gucci Group is holding true to the promise it made right after his death.
“The Group is providing all logistical, financial and human support to the Alexander McQueen team and working hard to continue the brand’s growth,” they said back in February.
So, the brand continues on with this new four-range collection: Basic, Fashion, Sleepwear and Loungewear. And the whole thing seems very McQueen with his iconic prints, including that all-over skull print as the feature on a few pieces.
The collection will be available online on www.alexandermcqueen.com and in stores worldwide from June 2010.
Prices range from £35 for a basic boxer to £370 for silk jacquard pyjamas set.

He was found dead in his apartment last Thursday.
