The images above are a sneak peek of Alexander McQueen's Pre-Spring/Summer 2010 show lookbook. While the collection retains hard geometric shapes and lines, McQueen's [integration of nature cues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life) seems to reconcile the two fashion cues of [avant-garde and bohemian style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic) that we've seen all year long.

Take the first image from Alexander McQueen's Pre-Spring/Summer 2010 show lookbook, for example. There's a shiny suit with sharp shoulders, but its print suggests a glimpse into a psychedelic forest of sorts. And the geometric black dress beside the suit is paired with diaphanous, cobweb-like leggings.
