i kind of agree with you on that, maybe this is a bit too loud, but at the same time this is why i love it... i think it's what i needed, a "loud" mcqueen collection to make me feel a little more excited about fashion - especially with the lack of creativity at dior and the trendy/uncreative/just-another-collection vibe i've been getting from many other designers' shows (not to mention what's happening to valentino)... so thanks to gaultier, elbaz, rick owens, yohji, kawakubo, ann d., junya watanabe and a few others, this season "restored" my excitement. and now mcqueen and this insane collection. the details are orgasmic, thank you for postingFall/ Winter 2006 is still my favorite McQueen collection. It was poetic, heartbreakingly beautiful, quiet - while still speaking volumes. It was a masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned.
This collection, while I like a lot about it, and there are several pieces I LOVE, it's maybe a bit too loud? For me, while McQueen has always been, for the most part, a pretty in your face designer...what he has had to say with his clothes was never yelled, it was always whispered (the presentations, on the other hand, were ofter very brash, but the clothes always possesed a delicacy, despite the brutality and torture they often conveyed).
