Alexander McQueen
Resort 2012
This collection by designer Sarah Burton had African, Indian and Spanish influences.
Garments had sharp tailoring, lots of clean lines and well structured pieces. There were plenty of streamlined jackets with nipped in waists in shades of camel, khaki, and black which were often paired with knee length skirts complete with kick pleat.
A black leather dress had a sexy yet demure feel to it. One of my favourite pieces was a trench coat which had a distinct military accent with a hint of African safari. The trench bodice was rich camel with khaki sleeves, shoulders and collar. Oversized pockets featured traditional embroidery consisting of shades such as mustard yellow, vermilion and burnt orange.
An instance of mixing the soft with the structured came in the form of a white lace blouse worn with wide legged, cuffed, 7/8 camel pant and accessorised with a lust worthy satchel complete with leopard print flap and burgundy handle. Waist cinchers were featured heavily consisting of triple buckles creating a defined waist.
Other looks included Spanish matador style, collarless high neck, white shirt with black button detail and high waisted pant. There was an empire line, tiger print dress, gold brocade, fitted peak shoulder jacket with detail on the bodice, cuffs and shoulders, sheer opulence.
Show stopping, red carpet numbers were the last looks shown in the collection, and they did not disappoint. A nude, apricot floor length gown had plenty of intricate detail, thousands of gold and bronze sequins in clusters to form flower and leaf motifs. Other evening looks included a black bodice with gold embroidery and sweetheart neckline with layers upon layers of silk faille, simply stunning.
