Alexander McQueen Autumn Winter 2012 2013

When I heard that Sarah Burton was about to present a Victorian inspired collection, all associations I had were “stuffy”, “preposterous”, “simply too much”. Thus, Ms. Burton surprises with an elegant spin on her initial idea for Alexander McQueen‘s Autumn Winter 2012 2013 collection. Modelled at the presentation on a boy who resembles Basquiat, the whole collection thrives on artistry. The Victorian era isn’t just a theme, Burton committed with plus fours, long socks, rich fur coats and authentic tapestry slippers. Pinstripe and Prince of Wales check are featured on suits with wider, period style legs and more plus fours.

I’ll remember to never lower my expectations from the McQueen brand.
