London Fashion Week

Alexander McQueen Fall Winter 2016/2017

The highly anticipated Alexander McQueeen blew everyone out of the water this week during London Fashion Week's Fall Winter Collections. The collection displayed what could only be classed as a dream taking the most feminine elements and placing them center stage with an abundance of detailing and complete craftsmanship.  Butterfly, eyes, unicorn, and clock motifs decorated the delicately though out collection embarking on almost an Alice In Wonderland journey. Blacks, subtle pinks, golds and creams were the focal in terms of color with an array of coats, ruffled dresses, suits, slim fitted trousers and a few beautiful gowns all of which floated along the runway in what seemed to be a perfect fantasy. Alexander McQueen never ceases to amaze us every year with such amazing high quality designs and what can only be described and artwork among the greats, an amazing job Sarah Burton.

London Collections Men AW16

Alexander McQueen 

The power fashion house Alexander McQueen took us on an adventure like no other this season with their AW16 collection. Designer 'Sarah Burton' devoted the show to 'Charles Darwin' stating she was "going back to the beginning, with the origin of the spectacularly-attired man". 'Sarah' drew inspiration from the Victorian era using trench-coats, suits and military coats to display her depiction of this; as well as the decorative motif butterfly used throughout the collection bringing a soft undertone to the architectural designs. The location set in London's 'Whitehall', was also able to give a old British scene enabling the collection to follow through the story telling journey; complete with classical music and an air of fog for drama.
