Alexander McQueen, one of the most innovative designers in the past 14 years, has finally decided to open a flagship store off Melrose Avenue (near Marc Jacobs stores) in Los Angeles. McQueen opened his first U.S. store in New York in the infamous Meat-Packing District in 2002; then recently just in Las Vegas.

Don't worry about Paris Hilton running around downtown L.A. with one of his gowns. He hopes "if she comes past the shop, hopefully she'll just keep walking," says McQueen, according to the L.A. Times, "I don't really covet that sort of thing."

I have been getting things shipped from his New York store for years. It's good to know that I don't have to take a trip to New York to see his whole collection in person. Even though his collection is not something you would wear everyday (or something you can afford) there is this elegance and feminine/masculine theme with all of his collections, which has been always amazing to watch.

The store will be opened Tuesday, but he will be having a grand opening party for his store on May 13th. Celebrities will be pouring in to see his new store. So, who wants to crash the party... raise your hand?
