Alexander McQueen has been tearing up fashion for a long time; it stands to reason that sometimes he would want to do something outside the typical fashion norm, and for Fall 2009 he's done exactly that.
Usually great attention is paid to getting a model who looks natural and can pose, but for Fall 2009, Alexander McQueen went out and got a young man who is capable of not even looking at the camera properly.
Furthermore, Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2009 model is posing in the most awkward positions. I have no idea where they found this model, but kudos to him for being able to pull the whole thing off.
