Absolutely magical McQueen!

As I stated in my last post, I am running a bit behind on publishing my show reviews and fashion week posts. I did see all the shows, but my daily work schedule, vacation and business trips combined with my sisters weeding kind of ran over me in the last couple of weeks.

So, there are the fashion shows, presentations and then there is magical McQueen.

After watching the show, observing the details and reading many positive show reviews my intention was to pull the parallel in between Alexander McQueen mainline and the McQ shows.

While creating the collection, Sarah Burton had bright future ahead, positivity and optimism in mind which obviously contradicts general feel of global economic recession and grayness present in the world at the moment.

The Alexander McQueen show was set up in a way to slowly escalate, grow and explode in form, volume and color. Models were styled with visors, fur pompons and knee length soft booties. 

Show started with short, tailored, light colored graphic coat dresses where decoration was embroidered in the fabric, while other dresses were controlled in waist with bold shaped belts. 
These pods made out of feather and fur in bold black and red colors exploded later into quite extravagant shapes which looked like they were floating in the air.

What a surreal show!


McQ brand is about 6 years old now and this was the first time it was showing on London Fashion Week. 

The romance, the dark glamour and immaculate tailoring are what McQ brand is all about, providing beautiful clothes under lower price than the main line without compromising the quality.

 The collection was inspired by military menswear colored in hunter green and tan, quite luxurious and rich in details, exploding into evening wear towards the end with dresses having gothic inspired black lace combined with gorgeously tailored plaid or red wine color velvet with rich detailing. 

I also loved shoes and belts with a small chain very much so, there wasn’t a piece I wouldn’t wear! Absolutely fantastic! What was your favorite show lovelies?
