I have two words to say about this collection...ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. And I'm not just saying that because it is the last and final collection from Alexander McQueen. I have always been a fan of his work, but lately it's been blowing me away, and this collection is no different.
I love the color palette, the gold details, the pleating, brocade, spiked headdresses, chiffon, draping, and basically everything else. I love how ornate it is, and romantic, all I want to do is walk through huge gardens and give gorgeous men meaningful glances.
This collection might not be as striking as his last collection (the reptilian one), but it is definitely not insignificant. It may be more demure, but it is not quiet. It is dramatic, well crafted and truly speaks to McQueen as a designer.
I am so sad that this is the last we will ever see of his work, but this post is not melancholy. It is a celebration of his genius.
