I LOVE the little silver clutch!

This collection is growing on me. It's still not my favorite McQueen collection because it isn't a very consistent show, too many ideas that aren't held together very well, but I'm really warming up to many individual pieces (and the show itself...those neon wings and that sexy music!)
My favorite outfit is the pink pleather python dress on Vlada! Sounds SO awful in words, but HOLY SH*T it is sexy on the runway (00:23 into the video...Vlada WORKS that dress!)!

I only hope stylists do something interesting and different with these pieces. The only way I'd be excited is if I knew for sure I'd see the clothing in a new light.

Very true. I just still can't quite get over the rainbow feather outfits....I'm OK with the pink and purple and the menswear fabric and kimono references, but I can't figure the rainbow outfits into the mix.

The thing is, McQueen usually is very capable of showing a wide variety of looks and ideas in one collection and still manages to stay focused and cohesive (FW 06, for example, you had plaids, knits, menswear, lace, feathers, wool, ruffles, fur, there was so much in that collection but it felt so perfectly cohesive.)....I just don't understand what happened here.
