Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2011 - Collections

Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2011 by Sarah Burton. Yes, it's obviously the mega-trend for next fall. Militant tailoring, sharp and clean regimental cuts, an ode to power dressing that seems all too familiar to the vision that is Alexander McQueen. Sarah Burton does a phenomenal job interpreting his vision. And this Fall collection does her justice.

Stumbled upon one of McQueen's last couture shows. I have been searching for the runway show in video.

Menswear Collections S/S 2011

Oh, by the way. To all my dearest followers, most of them female. I will not review the Spring-Summer 2011 Menswear collections. I much rather review womenswear collections, since this is my main area of expertise.

As an exception, I enjoy seeing the new trends in menswear. So, I will post my favorite looks & trends on this post:

80's Revivalism at the House of Versace (left & right), Emporio Armani (center) was also feeling 80's flashback:

Alexander McQueen A/W10 RTW (Collections)

Alexander McQueen's finale collection of fifteen looks is unmistakably Haute Couture , the attention to detail and precise cuts and finishes are executed to perfection. The color palette is definitely more safe and well-played than previous collections, light grays, royal reds with gold couture detailing, yellows and deep golds, beiges and blacks. Overall the color palette was refined and the collection was exuding Couture and Sovereignty. The collection consisted of floor-length ball gowns, short dresses, coats, and a McQueen classic an androgynous "Tailored Suit".
The detail is impressive, with the tedious folds and pleats on a few dresses, the applique with beads, the tremendous use of embroidery. The images of what appears to be nuns (virgins) and birds are printed onto the garment, a bird's wing is printed on the sleeves of another garment. It was truly a charming and celestial collection, the message was clear, Alexander McQueen is a master of his craft and he is an inspiration for generations of Designer's to follow in his foot steps.

R.I.P Lee Alexander McQueen. We will all miss you.

Gareth Pugh for Alexander McQueen (Creative Direction)

There are reports that Pugh's PR is denying his direction for Alexander McQueen under the Gucci Group. However, I hope that Pugh is appointed Creative Director, to secure McQueen's Vision.
