# Designer Graphic Tees The McQ by Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 T-Shirts are Simple Staples By Souzan Michael | Published 2011-07-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcq-by-alexander-mcqueen-fall-2011 References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2011/07/mcq-by-alexander-mcqueen-2011-fallwinter-t-shirts/) & [flydigs](http://flydigs.com/2011/07/19/mcq-by-alexander-mcqueen-2011-fallwinter-t-shirts/) Images from the McQ by Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 collection have been released and the fashion world is already buzzing. The three t-shirts featured in the collection's sneak peek are instant classics and wardrobe staples. McQ by Alexander McQueen is the late designer's more contemporary line of clothing, as opposed to the avant-garde, architectural and often shocking designs of the Alexander McQueen fashion house, which is now run by creative director Sarah Burton. While McQ by Alexander McQueen often features clothing adorned with skulls, a McQueen favorite, the McQ by Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 collection does not. Opting instead for simple, chic designs, the black and white t-shirts are easily adaptable into any wardrobe, while still maintaining the cool edge that the McQueen label is notorious for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Graphic Tee Revival:** Designers are bringing graphic tees back on trend with simple and versatile styles. - **Contemporary Label Minimalism:** Contemporary labels are opting for simple and chic designs rather than shock value. - **Versatile Wardrobe Staples:** Simple graphic tees continue to be a staple in modern wardrobes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the continued popularity of graphic tees in all styles. - **Retail:** Retailers can diversify their selection with simple graphic tees that still exude edgy style. - **Marketing:** Companies with graphic design expertise can create custom graphic tees for personal or promotional campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Luxurious Holiday Gift Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2024.md) - [Graphic Winter Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supreme-winter-2025-tees.md) - [Soft Visual Delicate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexion-sneaker.md) - [Regal Inaugural Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-mcqueen-4.md) - [UK Designer T-Shirt Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-x-anya-hindmarch.md) - [New Year-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-lunar-new-year-campaign.md) - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [Minimal Layered Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tshirt.md)
