Incredible.










Alexander McQueen S/S 2011 Collection
This was my favourite collection by far for the season.
I'm so glad the brand has been able to retain it's unique feel and 'wow' factor without its visionary.

"The collection is both bohemian and pagan in spirit. A controlled and technologically advanced environment is rejected in favor of the raw power of nature and a free spirit. The values of hard craftsmanship and the precious quality of found objects are upheld. Construction is light, pieces are intricately worked by hand. Patchwork embroidery, plaited hair, ribbon work, tooled leather, frayed raffia, hand pleated organza, embroidered white work, hand painted feather butterflies, gold bullion, corn dollies, twisted feathers, crochet, hand carved shoes lacquered with a porcelain effect. Each piece highlights the value of handcraft."
