Alexander McQeen Face Lace vs. Marykate and Ashley Lace Veils

Firstly, I must commend the amazon seller that sent me this late copy of the special edition Vogue (Best Dressed 2011).  It was sent from Brooklyn, NY and arrived to me across the coast in three days.  This seller knows how to pack a magazine!  It was wrapped in plastic (as shown above), slipped in between two pieces of cardboard, and then packed nicely in a hard cardboard envelope addressed to yours truly.  I will buy from this seller again.

Secondly, when I first saw this cover, I assumed that the face lace on Marykate and Ashley would be none other than the lace masks that were shown at the Alexander McQueen runway not long ago.  Turns out, they are not the same masks.  But, take a peak below at some of the Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 RTW runway masks.  They are beautiful and compliment the RTW tremendously.  I chose my three favorite looks of the show and posted them below.

Sarah Burton has done well with the Alexander McQeen line.

Yet, going back to the lace masks that Marykate and Ashley were wearing on that exquisite Vogue cover- they were wearing Maison Michel lace veils.  Well done, Vogue, that was a great choice.
