Alexander McQueen, march 2010

Oh God, i ADORED this collection! There were those who found his picture of women with sex-doll lips and sometimes painfully theatrical costumes ugly and misogynistic. Others were energized by the sheer spectacle, as well as the couture-level drama in the execution of the clothes. This is a designer who has drawn so much poetry out of the past, yet this time his backward look appeared to be in something like anger. Some of the pieces, like a couple of swag-sided coats, seemed to be made of trash bags, accessorized with aluminum cans wrapped in plastic as headgear, so it understandable why some poeple where not impressed, but his pieces where so different in such an amazing and artistic way.
