McQ by Alexander McQueen Fall 2012: Ardent Romance For All! at London Fashion Week | FashionTV

SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/FashionTVSUB http://www.FashionTV.com/videos LONDON - The McQ line for Alexander McQueen is always about rich designs and luxe fabrics under a glamorous and romantic guise. This time, Sarah Burton, who has done an incredible job taking over the label after the unexpected death of McQueen, decided to promote the essence of McQ in an accessible way, one that is open and easy for public to wrap their heads around. While we're not sure we could actually wrap our heads around the autumn leaves in February or the massive knotted hair atop the models' heads, we could wrap our heads around the simplicity of the clothes, which were not actually simple at all. A military theme prevailed at the beginning, with a strictness in the coats and the army sweaters, but occasionally a plaid coat with volume at the hem or a dress in embroidered floral print and lace too precedent. A fur collar and some beautiful cocktail dresses in rich colors took us back to the McQueen we loved, but not without an air of being available to all. Towards the end, leaves gave way to a forest and neon lights flashed in the background, which made us wonder whether this collection was so dreary, after all.
