Fashion Work of art: Models had gravity-defying sculptural Hair Military-inspired
MCQ by ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: A MILITARY-THEMED CATWALK DEBUT THAT ELEVATED THIS LABEL TO HIGH FASHION
In light of this season, a fashion enchanted forest, the floor
carpeted with Fall fallen leaves, Sarah Burton unveiled the first ever
catwalk show for Alexander McQueen McQ label – and she chose the brand’s
hometown of London to do it. The fashion shows major departure from
McQ’s previously street style vibe – there was no denim, no tartan.
Instead, there was high fashion. Military style coats in black and
forest green had cinched waists but wonderful volume, created by layers
of tulle underneath. Prom dresses, slim leather overcoats, thigh-length
boots. Elsewhere, more tulle – this time on an attitudey prom dress,
sewn with thousands of colorful petals. Lapels were wide, jackets were
neat. There was velvet, wool and heavy embroidery: luxury fabrics that
took this label to a new level. I loved the military belts with gold
chains, the perfectly cut coats and the luxurious velvet – and of
course, that gravity-defying hair very McQueen inspired in the Crystal
Palace. - D. ARTHURS
