# WWI-Inspired Collections The Alexander McQueen Resort 2014 Line is Full of Florals and Crop Tops By Leslie Chen | Published 2013-06-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-mcqueen-resort-2014 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/alexander-mcqueen-resort-2014-collection/) & [alexandermcqueen](http://www.alexandermcqueen.com/) The [Alexander McQueen Resort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-mcqueen-5) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-x-highgrove). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **World War Ii-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate vintage military elements into their collections and give a modern twist. - **Crop Top Revival:** Chance for retailers to tap into the renewed popularity of crop tops and offer a variety of styles to consumers. - **Quirky Model Poses:** Potential for photographers and brands to experiment with unique and unconventional model poses to create engaging visuals. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore the World War II era for inspiration and create collections that blend historical elements with contemporary fashion trends. - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the crop top trend by stocking a wide range of crop top styles and offering them as a fashionable choice for consumers. - **Photography:** Photographers can embrace the quirkiness of model poses and experiment with unconventional angles and compositions to create visually captivating fashion images. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [New Year-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-lunar-new-year-campaign.md) - [Luxurious Holiday Gift Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2024.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Regal Inaugural Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-mcqueen-4.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md)
