Alexander McQueen (Pre-Fall 2011): Sarah Burton is deeply inspired by the spirit of Alexander McQueen, and thru her feminine insight, she draws a softer image to his fashion line.
Alexander McQueen (Bi-Colour Military Silk Shirt): There’s a boyish ruggedness to this shirt. For a downtown look, match with black stovepipe jeans, zipper leather jacket, leather riding boots and a mini cross-body bag.
Alexander McQueen (Wide Chain Bridled Belt): Effortlessly cinch your way into a perfect figure with anything from tunic blouses, boyfriend shirts to a lace bodysuit.
Alexander McQueen (Black Buckled Punk Boot): Both Captain Hook and Captain Morgan have nothing on these feminized pirate boots. Great with denim, harem pants, cropped trousers and dress pants.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN (FUR-ARMOR BOOTIE): Sarah Burton created a nostalgic experience with these pony fur booties (armor detail designed originally by former designer Alexander McQueen). The style is surprisingly flexible and wearable with a black leather cuff, lace blouse, tweed skirt and a mini quilted bag or a rocker tee, black denim cigarette pants and a matching woven leather tote. Unfortunately, these booties were a runway exclusive, but the wedge sandal versions are available. Same great look, only much more feminine.

Alexander McQueen (Fall 2011): The House of McQueen is constantly taunting us with props featured in their collections, as with these lace-up leather thigh high boots (shown on model), but smaller versions are up for grabs, like these Studded Lace-Up Platform Boots. Toughen your work clothes, color-blocking outfits, your leather everything, lace tops and bottoms, metallic blazers and pants, and black sheer or mesh blouses.

Alexander McQueen (Fall 2011): Leather lends a hard-edge, while tweed renders softness… This not a dream, but dare to dream.
“I get my ideas out of my dreams… if you’re lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It’s not in the world — it’s in your head. I think that is amazing.” –Alexander McQueen

Into The Future (Alexander McQueen: Spring 2012): A display so remarkable, one can only quote the great Alexander McQueen, “British fashion is self confident and fearless. It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British heritage.”
Here we have dual nature; light & darkness, masculinity & femininity in this thrilling domineering collection. Ingenious face masks and head-gear offer a sense of sadomasochism to complete the dresses aggressiveness. Alexander McQueen Ready-To-Wear is not for the faint of heart; it is a wearable weapon, much like full-bodied armor.
