One of Alexander McQueen‘s last projects is a six-piece rug collection for The Rug Company.  The English company previously collaborated with other fashion designers known for their prints: Marni, Diane von Furstenberg, and Paul Smith, to start.

This hummingbird night scene was inspired by McQueen’s SS09 collection.  It looks incredibly rich and precise.  Other rugs reference his iconic skull pattern and a gold bullion print.

I haven’t read anything about a lobster claw shoe rug, tho.  I wonder if a rug firm with a more democratic market would take cues from the “Bad Romance” wardrobe.  Seems like a good/profitable idea for BTS.
