Alexander McQueen Spring 2014 Menswear

Sarah Burton

gave us modern Victorian with

Alexander McQueen's

Spring 2014 menswear collection presented in London. Beautifully tailored, of course, yet frayed and tattered brocades and embroidery attempt to tell a story. Burton continued with her signature layering approach and there was enough lace to spare. While I am a fan of all things McQueen, I am not attracted to the androgynous element clearly evident in this collection. I prefer to be a well-dressed man rather than look like a girlie-man. Def not a fan of the Mary Janes...

Alexander McQueen MEN 2013

alexander-mcqueen-menswear-2013-fashionado

Sarah Burton... how I love thee...and this patterned suit too! I may not rock it as shown, but individually, in a heart beat! Not all of the London Fashion Week looks from Alexander McQueen 2013 were this bold. For the subdued sartorialist, handsome pinstripes, though a bit twisted, were in abundance on the runway. My favorites looks:

Alexander McQueen Resort 2013

alexander-mcqueen-resort-2013-sarah-burton-fashionado

Sarah Burton

pulled from historical references such as the Art Deco movement and David Bowie's 70s style for an opulent

Alexander McQueen Resort 2013

. She played with a masculine/feminine approach, hard lines and exaggerated proportions. In keeping with McQueen's tradition of extravagant detailing, the embellishments are beyond this world as evidenced in the exquisite and painstaking embroidery and beading found in many of the garments. I would expect nothing less. This is a truly remarkable and striking collection. And yes, it's Ready-to-Wear!

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Fall 2012

alexander-mcqueen-sarah-burton-fall-2012-fashionado

Sarah Burton

, you make us so proud. Thank you for consistently delivering "McQueen" worthy collections! Out of the darkness, beauty has been redefined and this stunning collection proves it. Burton has come into her own at the helm of the

Alexander McQueen

label while not compromising the brand's foundation or integrity. Through her use of ostrich feathers, goat hair and textile, her theatrical aesthetic and her intellectual property, there is a rebirth within the label. A new direction where light and "positivity" reign the future rather than pain. Burton presented a collection of blooming flowers to metaphorically state her case and did so, exquisitely.
