Softly Structured Diffusion Collections

The McQ by Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2013 is Powerful

— February 15, 2013 — Luxury
With yet another expertly cut line, the McQ by Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2013 collection features soft contours and luxurious fabrics to help draw the eye in the desired direction.

There's a definite equestrian feel to some of the designs within the collection and can best be described as such. In addition, there are belts galore in the 2013 line to add a certain panache because they are oversized, of central focus and used in unexpected ways to create silhouettes that are slightly obscure. What's more, the tailoring is, per usual, pin sharp and scream McQueen despite being a diffusion line for the more extravagant pieces.

Of the more outrageous pieces in the collection, one of the coats features arms made of carpet; what better way to make a statement? It adds a certain androgyny to the overall feel, which is classic to McQueen.
