Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 Collection

I have always adored McQueen and honestly, this is my first glimpse at his line's Menswear collection. This collection reinterprets the military trend and presented with fresh faces that "complemented the collection", as Tim Blanks had said.

Some pieces are very supple and some very structured. Square and peaked shoulders, a poncho, vests and oversized lapels are just some of the things present in this collection. The red long coat with what looked like black shearling in the collar and the grey trim was one of the pops in the show.



The layering of the jacket with the coat just enhances the exaggeration of the lapels. Red against the black and white just gives it a clean appeal.




The print is a digitalized version of something like a gold breastplate.



Absolutely love the styling of this one.


The poncho adds this effortlessness to the collection.




The jacket with the gray/silver print is just divine!


That black vest/cardigan with the red stripe is just something that I would really die for. Very diplomatic.



Sarah Burton really had the same attention to precision and detail as Lee. She just added a little bight of lightness to the brand. 

Way to go Sarah! Now I'm more excited to see the next collection for women.
