Alexander McQueen
English fashion design wouldn't be the same without Alexander McQueen. Enfant terrible. Fun on the runway.

Either Paris Fashion Week organizers had 'save the best for last' in mind or designer's calculated move to show their collections nearing the end of the event. In my opinion, it doesn't matter when designers showcase their collection. If their collection is memorable, it will be remembered.
A day before the last full line-up of anticipated collections. Avant-garde designer Alexander McQueen embarked on a journey to where everything started, the ocean. The opening, true to McQueen's poetic retrospective shows was a kaleidoscope of organic strobes of lights. Models shared the stage with two cameras on tracks shooting a 360 degree perspective on every look that was projected on a screen as the backdrop.

McQueen's collection received mix reviews. My take on it? I loved every second and every sequin of it! The pieces are wearable, modern and quite chic. Oh and the shoes are fierce! Though some resemble crustacean snappers and a prehistoric reptile, there are those with metal heels that I absolutely adore.

Whatever critics may say, I totally appreciate McQueen's vision. He continuously delivers season after season. After seeing his collection, I heard the Mighty Mouse tune, 'here I come to save the day' in my head. McQueen certainly made Paris Fashion Week interesting and live to it's expectations. To be quite frank, I was starting to feel disappointment on one of the most anticipated fashion event of the season. With one day left, Marc Jacobs rolled out his designs for Louis Vuitton (which I'll feature tomorrow), Miu Miu was nothing special and I'm waiting to see what John Galliano has in store. Till then, ciao.
