The Alexander McQueen Resort 2014 collection is as regal and luxurious as you would expect it to be, with a quirky twist in its models posing and stance.
Creative Director Sarah Burton was inspired by the styles of the World War II era, culminating in a collection filled with neutral shades, crop tops and floral details. Although I'm sure these newest styles from the McQueen label will fly off the shelves, I couldn't help but notice that the model in the lookbook is almost being forced into a corner; an interesting tweak in the usual straight shots found in fashion collections.
If you're a fan of Sarah Burton, these images from the Alexander McQueen Resort 2014 collection are definitely not to be missed.
