The Alexander McQueen eyewear collection for spring 2010 just proves how much of a genius the late designer was. Instead of featuring gorgeous models, this campaign has gone for a morbid theme and opted for the dead.

Known for his use of skeletons and in-your-face ad campaigns, it really isn't a surprise that the Alexander McQueen eyewear collection is comparable to a work of art. These beautifully digitized images feature the signature snakeskin pattern, a [gigantic skull](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn) and [coveted sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-blacked-out-collection) from the house of McQueen.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out
