Knitted personalised sweaters awaited the most important guests at Alexander McQueen. The nicest gift to please those critics. The collection inspired by the idea of “butterflies and bugs, and paradise found rather than lost.” had little to do with those knitwear pieces. It kicked off with multiple sheer and lace combinations in which the models looked fierce and sexy. Corset details, cinched waists, bright red lips, their hair tight back. Strong shouldered jackets and an extremely boxy emerald suit added for some contrast in silhouette. While the finale was a costum-y dress up gown game (with fringes, feathers, ruffles and what not) of it´s own. It wasn´t the most wearable collection. But hey, we get to take home that McQueen sweater with our name on it. We´re in good spirits anyway.
