Futuristic Victorian Fashion

The Alexander McQueen AW10 Collection is Beautifully Bittersweet

Earlier this month, I brought your attention to McQueen's Pre-Fall look book, but what you have really been waiting for is finally here: the Alexander McQueen AW10 collection. At first I was at a loss for words when looking at the few pictures that were released. The first words that did pop into my mind were 'stunning' and 'bittersweet.'

Debuted during Paris Fashion Week, the Alexander McQueen AW10 collection is, as the show stated, as unique as he was. Inspired by Byzantine art and Old Master paintings, McQueen imbued both the past and the future into his designs. Take a moment to truly appreciate a master's work via the gallery above.
