I feel as if McQueen should do couture, or with the direct that his "ready to wear" has been heading maybe just move to couture week or I don't know..

Lovely collection but the hip padding detracts from the clothing.

absolutely breathtaking
reminds me alot of fw06 collection..the victorian theme which i absolutely loved
mcqueen is a genuis!! can't say enough good things about this collection

 

[zamb]

It was absolutely gorgeous. But I still say it's very un-McQueen.

well, how is it un-McQueen?
what about it that makes it un McQueen?

this is signature McQueen, at his best i might add.
anyone who has followed him over the years know that there are very specific things that he is drawn to, these things have become reccuring themes in his work.
victorian silhoettes
sharp tailoring
pleated pants
dark aesthetic
circle skirts
tailored jumsuits
birds
flowers
lots of black and beige

his themes and his execution change from season to season but his style does not change, and it shouldnt.
all great designers have a signature style and this should not change from season to season
yes, along with chalayan and galliano (three british designers) they have produced the best collections of this season, with McQueen probably being the best.

also, for those being concerned with wearability, and questions about padded hips, Go to the showroom, view the pre-collection or wait till february when the spring merchandise hit the retail floor.
the man is having a SHOW, yes a HESS ---EICH---OOOHHH ---DOUBLE UU (SHOW) this is what fashion shows are about, the extremeties and exaggerations of a designers vision, it is not about everything being wearable....................

It's impossible for me not to love this. The amount of blood, sweat and tears I imagine he put into this leaves no excuses for the less passionate...

i totally hate the whole collection
he has been doing the same mood, silhouette and colours and this victorian thingy with flowers and laces and fluffs for a few seasons

i'm growing sick of this moody collection

I'm sorry, but to me this looks very un-McQueen. Sure, there are plenty of things in there that he's explored before such as Victoriana, tailoring, Goya....but when I think of his past work, I can't recall a time where he's used flower petals under a veil of blush colored tulle, or anything that's traditionally pretty for that matter. While he may have used details like florals, birds and victoriana, it's never been so straighforward and I'd hardly call those things signature McQueen. To me there isn't very much that's dark about this collection, most of it is quite light and traditionally feminine. There's no aggression, no hard edge, no apparent subversion so for those reasons I say it looks un-McQueen. I'd hardly consider myself an expert in fashion, but I'd never say a collection isn't typical of any designer without having a pretty good idea of what they're about.

i cant even begin to describe how much i love this collection. soooooooo worth the wait and worth having to watch all these boring collections this season. all i can really say is:

Haha, soooo agreed!

 

[rochasfille]

Ah...words cannot describe. This is the first collection I have seen in a while that actually left me breathless.

 

[Squizree]

EVERYTHING Below the head is BLOODY DAMN AWESOME!!!! But the heads are a turn off.

 

[jennifer~]

^ As in the makeup, the hair, the headpieces? (Or the models? ) I suspect you mean the makeup, but the idea of a matte-complected, dusty-eyed adaptation is really inspiring me.

The hair and the headpieces, I dont mind the models at all, I mean there are some that I dont like, but they dont have any effect on how much I like the fashion whatsoever.

Hum .. Lee seems to go to this lil place inside him where he listens to his own voice ... there are many references to stuff he's done in the past ... those pieces with the big hips remind me of a golden one I saw him do for Givenchy couture ages ago ... the suits are always a staple and the lacey things we've seen more and more with time ... he's polishing his work much much more ... in a way, in this collection you can see a bit of JPG on this -and maybe some old school YSL- but this has his vision ... the colours may not seem very McQueen but yes they are very much because they're muted and there's this victoriana romanticism which is very goth and very McQueen.
On another note .. just because McQueen is master pattern cutter doesnt necessarily translates into him being Galliano .. personally, I find it a bit shortsighted.
I personally love all those volumes .. of light/delicate fabrics on top of the heavy ones ... its so refreshing! Im happy for him .. last season ppl cried with the hologram finale ... now he gets an standing ovation with his (Demi? May I even dare to say Haute?)-couture!
