« Alexander McQueen: Our Favorite Collections
- McQueen is the master of presenting collections. In one of his most memorable shows, he created a stunningly eerie hologram of Kate Moss spinning around in a swelling gown–it was hauntingly beautiful. On the right is an image from the collection he dedicated to Isabella Blow; the theme was birds. This finale look was the perfect tribute.
- This is probably our favorite McQueen collection. The designer spoke about his inspiration: “I’ve got a 600-year-old elm tree in my garden, and I made up this story of a girl who lives in it and comes out of the darkness to meet a prince and become a queen.” Here’s the darkness–and evidence that crinoline can be magical. And here’s the queen.
- The umbrella hat was amazing and it was one of our favorite things to see in fall editorials. It added a bit of humor to the spreads and always made us smile. And of course, no one feathers quite like McQueen.
- How do you choose a favorite look from this collection? We can’t, so here are some great ones.
- SS 10 continued.
