Thursday the 11th February was an incredibly sad day for the world of fashion, one of the most influential British designers of our time was found dead in his London home. Here at Motel we were shocked to hear this sad news and thought that these words by Tim Blanks say it best:

“The news that Alexander McQueen has killed himself is particularly devastating because it always felt to me like he’d be the last man standing. He was restless, but so pragmatic with it I assumed he had what it took to endure the extreme situations he placed himself in. He was also an arch romantic with a pessimistic streak. It produced some of the most beautiful, shocking images in the history of fashion, but it’s a state of mind that can lead to endless disappointments. The death of McQueen’s mother last week would have validated his pessimism. It would undoubtedly have taken away his most vital support. It’s awful to imagine him trying—and failing—to cope, and one can only hope that, if he was looking for peace, he found it. For everyone left behind, there will eventually be consolation, however scant right now, in a body of work whose power will never die.”

heres what she had to say:
Lucie Cave, Executive Editor of Heat magazine writes…
When I found out I was co-hosting the ITV2 ‘Backstage at the National Television Awards’ I was, quite frankly, in a right tizz about what to wear (satin gowns and cocktail dresses aren’t my thing and make me look like a fancy toilet roll holder). I’m a huge fan of Motel anyway, the dresses always look effortlessly cool without looking like you’re trying, so the Motel Betsy Egyptian print dress was perfect for this occasion. I teamed it with some lipstick print opaque tights, black ankle boots and a vintage gold chain necklace and felt glam yet comfortable – which was important as I didn’t need to be worrying about whether my dress was too tight aswell as remember my lines. James Corden gave me compliments aplenty – which is always nice, and I’ve worn it since to an engagement party and the pub – so its very versatile!

Host of MTV’s show MTV Home Palina, was spotted wearing a cute motel mini skirt, sadly we have now sold out but get the look with the sphinx jacket!
