That's where it's better. And rightly so if Alexander McQueen is spokesperson for the watery world below. This season's collection has pretty much blown everyone out of the water (pun intended!).I won't go into too much detail about the show as we have all watched it by now!
His collection told the story of women transforming into creatures of the the deep dark seas. The models wore highly sculpted dresses, with computerised, digitally-enhanced prints of snakes, fish and all sorts of beasts of the below. Tottering in the highest and bizarre heels models galloped in front of not only the audience but six video cameras streaming the event live online. This is exactly what makes McQueen such a brilliant designer and showman. His shows tell a story. His models present his vision.
The elaborate digital prints whilst dazzling and beautiful reminded me of his Crystal collection for SS09 (a favourite of mine) and can't wait to see this hit the stores. I loved the intricate leather bustier over a beautiful print dress giving a nod to next seasons big trend: Bondage.Long live McQueen!
