Outstanding!! This is the art of fashion.

No other collection touches this by far.

It's amazing how many people hate feathers, apparently on a purely aesthetical basis (regarding some people)... They're a huge love of mine.

I posted these anyway (regardless of the quality) because I'm sure everyones dying to see the whole show

 

[angora]

Hmmm.....I'm pretty sure that someone as undeniably talented as McQueen could do just as good a job without killing innocent animals.

After all, good quality faux fur is so good, now and I believe one can source feathers that are shed naturally. I also have a fishscale Mini-Novak of his and not only is the skin more beautiful than python skin, IMO, it is also a by-product and the fish was not skinned alive (as snakes and other reptiles are).

Not sure why one would have to use the whole body of birds to achieve these effects (or very similar effects), anyway?

I agree (I also have the fishscale mini-novak, it's gorgeous and is much more beautiful than python and lizard, imo)

Yes, it is funny, isn't it?

I, personally, love the look of them, too; I'm just not comfortable with them, if they're obtained in a cruel way.

 

[angora]

Thank you for the photos, a simply stunning collection!

 

[chloehandbags]

Do you?

Which one do you have?

I have the one with the dragon clasp.

I'm so underwhelmed and really disappointed by this. The clothes in are lackluster and average. I see a few beautiful pieces but I wonder if maybe the attention was supposed to be on the hats. It looks like he's visiting some of his memorable, "hit" designs but they actually disappoint and make me wonder why he would do that if he couldn't improve them.

I agree...I'm super disappointed. This show might has well have been the Philip Tracey show....there's nothing really that impresses me here on McQueen's part (which is saying A LOT...almost everything he does impresses me!). Most of the clothes really are just average...which is so odd for McQueen because I have yet to see a show from him that was just average (even including FW 05 and SS 06 (his 'commercial' collections)) and, to be honest, the clothes could have been designed by someone in Milan and possibly even New York, nothing here SCREAMS McQueen.

And to be honest, I think Mrs. Blow would have been more proud of him if he were to have designed his most stunning collection to date, I mean, she did discover him because of his clothing design abilities. I understand why he would use hats (and they're all gorgeous! and it's very poignant), but I think he got too caught up in the hats and forgot about the clothes!

The only two outfits I REALLY like are Daiane's (partially because her hat is PHENOMENAL!!!) and Raquel's. Everything else is either too bland or two garish (I hate the red and purple combo pieces).

And the runway itself if rather odd, too. Not very McQueen...too shiny and non specific. I always liked how his runway setting complimented the theme very well...I see no theme here...except feathers, but it's not done in a very coherent way...

Oh well....I've already resigned myself to the fact that this season SUCKED majorly (except for Balenciaga, Lacroix and JPG)...lets hope Galliano, Vuitton and Nina Ricci can save the season.

i still love this collection, it just seems to have this aviation 40's flight inspired theme that I think carried very well through out the whole show. and as for the runway i simply like it. its very current and sleek looking.

 

[Meg]

a lot of the headpieces to me seem a bit of a tribute to izzy blow....

 

[dior_couture1245]

...the hairstyles are pretty dopey looking, too!
