Sarah Burton's Alexander McQueen Fall 2012 ready to Wear collection brought a sense of light, movement, and playfulness to the usually structured and serious designs that the fashion house is famous for, writes contributing fashion writer Amelia Vogelsang.
From the outset, Sarah Burton's latest outing for fashion house Alexander McQueen delivered something extraordinary as models donned feather gloves and capelets that contrasted the futuristic shades that hid their eyes. Burton also injected some romanticism into the stunning display with mid-drift baring tops and Femininity Silhouettes was a definite focus on the designs.
The color palette evolved throughout the show, shifting from white to soft pink hues, magenta then red and finally black. Both dramatic and glamorous, models seemed to glide down the runway in the feathered, texturally-rich creations. And though nothing in the ready-to-wear collection resembled anything you would be likely to see on the street, this in only makes Burton's spectacular vision even more enticing.
- Trends: Volume, texture, femininity, fur, metallics.
- Colors: Pink, fuchsia, black, gray, white, silver.
- Key Piece: The white and black laser-cut looks were a beautiful departure from the extreme volume.
- Accessories: Fur, floral, and fringe-embellished platforms to match every look, visor-like glasses, furry mittens and gloves, fur collars, oversize metallic bows and flowers at the waist.
- Who Would Wear It: The most whimsical and imaginative of fashionistas; Anna Dello Russo would be a perfect fit for the voluminous furs and pom-pom adorned looks.
