Alexander McQueen F/W 12.13 Paris

[D A N A]

I had high hopes for this collection. This is so not McQueen and so ugly!!!

I like the horse hoof inspired boot and thats about it. The rest is so bad that I'm not even feeling any second hand embarrassment for Sarah.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

I truly resent this! I cant believe she thought she sent down the runway, a innovative take on "futurism", its so lackluster and without imagination!

I dont see the reviews being bad though, the fashion crowd adores her.

Futuristic? Yes......If you consider the original Star Wars films take on futurism. I don't know if this woman is battling the Abominable Snowman or if she is the Abominable Snowman!

Poodles!!

When I opened nowfashion.com my first thought was why they are once again repeating the same images, but when I peered into details I realized that this is not nowfashion.com fault. So sad to see such a collection, because I expected more from Sarah Burton this season. I really hope that next season will be much more successful for Sarah.

My eyes hurt

Has she exhausted the archives? This look like a graduate's collection from the Armani School of Design where every garment is a slight variation of the last:

Here we have a short skating dress with a fur fichu. Now we have the same dress with a peplum. Now we have the same dress without sleeves. Now we have the same dress with a cape..............

Seriously, Lee's probably turning and coughing up fur balls in his grave.

Words can't describe how sad I am. This collection is just a disaster and there is no way to find anything positive about it.

girls look horny...Sorry i don't know why...anyway, nice collection !!!

 

[KatherineCouture]

OMG! I'm speechless Those three last outfits are atrocious

 

[BerlinRocks]

W O W. McQueen must be turning in his grave.
where is the tribal ? where is the tragic ? where is the exotic ? where is the punk ? where is the seasonal risk and reinvention ? where is the hard ? the edge ? where is the risk ?

remains fur, dresses and fairy tales - what was nice the first season. NOW, this is very time to CHANGE the art direction ...
* I'm not saying Sarah should go (though she only did a worthy collection to look at). but that McQueen is NOT a Brides and Bridesmaids brand.

 

[Reiko]

funny, so now music has no connection to the show, though somebody said that it was good

well, I kind of liked that show, despite everyone says

 

[KemAlnagdy]

way over the top , only few things are wearable !

 

[sidda]

It makes me think of a children's cartoon about a group of girl power crime fighting sheep. Looking at the HQs I just really cannot with this. Even deconstructing some of the less awful pieces, I can't see how you would make them wearable enough to not look completely ridiculous.

 

[Label Basher]

I just don't even know what to say. Like what's the point. This is not what we will see in the shops. What a miss.

 

[glitterpeacock]

I know I'm the 300th person to say this, but I do not want to look at McQueen (British fashion's pride and joy....) and see Lady Gaga. The peroxide blonde wigs - the visors? I want to see art and finesse and emotion.

Was this Sarah's Inspiration board?
Yeti's, A Frilly Cake, Elmo Koosh Ball, My Little Pony, Star Trek's Geordi La Forge, Fury Slippers, Pink Poodles

Paris Fashion Week in short: Mr. West steals the show with stolen ideas and Sarah Burton delivers poodles on stage...a lot of them.

RCFA posted a resee of the looks the day after. it's interesting to see close ups of the detail and what the toned-down versions look like.

I actually had a change of heart. I actually like this collection. I watched the show and it was pretty amazing. I will admit, It was not the most diverse collection but it is definitely exploring some new territory for the brand.

No darkness. No story. No McQueen

I've been trying to be optimistic about Sarah. I get that she has to make the brand more profitable, and has to live up to a legend of a designer. It's not easy. But this collection is not the answer!
