Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 collection had many fashion-forward ideas including capri dress pants for men, but the knockout fashion notes were his painted pieces.

Alexander McQueen titled the show â€œAnalyze Thatâ€ and dressed his models in various [paint splattered pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-8eyelet-boot). It looked as though the models had been in a paint fight prior to the show.

I'm eager to see how this translates to retail.

**Implications** - Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 collection features not only paint-splattered items, but also some very interesting and artistic menswear jackets. The clothing that features painted hand prints on the front is absolutely genius and gives a dressier outfit a more laid-back look. If you are looking to try out a new fashion style, definitely check out the work of McQueen!
