Alexander McQueen S/S 09 Paris

^ hahah it's been like that for the past 2-3 seasons! A sculpted peplum here...a rounded shoulder there...ohhh it must be Balenciaga. It's ridiculous!

The tailoring here is amazing, thank god McQueen will always have that strength. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet, I guess I need to let it sink it. I need detail shots and perhaps some insight into the inspiration. I love the fringed dress and I hate the busy, colorful prints at the moment. I can't say I'm dissapointed yet but I wish McQueen had moved me in the same way he did with previous collections.

Amazing It's such a strong collection, the animal prints are outstanding, and the hourglass dresses too, and the hair, and setup.

Thanks McQueen.

I wonder which pieces would be on Net-a-porter tomorrow???

Er....I still don't get why there's animals in the set.

Seeing the collection as a whole, its pretty amazing! He really does make fashion week!
The looks towards the end of the collection are just amazing.
And that last pair of shoes - WOW!!

[LolaSvelt]

It's good, but the models look like they've just been drowned!

 

[Dkammern]

what an incredible day! alexander, karl and alessandra!!! bravo to the three of them!
this very much reminds me of his latest collection in the shapes and structure et all, yet very fresh, new, etc. can't wait to see the video.
Africa was an expected trend in various shows this season considering the death of saint laurent not so long ago. it's a beautiful/evident homage to the master without being too obvious, no?
(the animals on the back were a bit scary)

God this is amazing....I am positively blown away!

Same here. They cut such a beautiful silhouette and the patterning is to die for

 

[helmut.newton]

Such an interesting and unique show!!!

In parts, it reminds of his previous work ie. his nomad collection

I'm interested to see what the animals mean to him!

OH MY GOD. This collection was BRILLIANT. Definitly a highlight of the season.. One of my favorites! The shapes and volume, everything, brilliant. His ideas were so well translated through the clothing and the setting.

The models look like they're wearing panty hoses, the way that their hair's stuck to their face.
