alexander mcqueen fall 2008 collection

This was the first piece to walk out onto the runway. it was very relevant as it showcased the shape and materials of what was to come. it's very simple, clean and surprisingly wearable.

That collar is just GORGEOUS. and the softness of the knit fabric of the dress is perfectly contrasted by the leather of the boots. the voluminous skirt is evident through out the whole show.

I love that super-tight black skinny pants thing going on here. And that little peacoat is just classic and elegant, but the whole look is almost androgynous.

Another example of contrasting soft with hard. The gown is so flowy and water-like, but the shiny leather pants/boots? is just peeking out underneath. This effect would be easily translated into everyday life. Maybe a nice chiffon top with some leather pants?

Here comes the big crazy one. The bottom of that skirt just kills me, its so fierce in that color and fabric. Also loving that headpiece.

That jacket is so chic. What else could I say?

The details of the print on this dress blew me away. I believe it's a tree with the branches spreading out? It has the same asymmetric skirt as the first dress but the line of the one-shoulder collar is parallel to it, which gives it an even look.

Isn't this the most wondrous dress in the world?

These are a few of the Queen/Imperialism/Indian pieces.The didn't impress me much and seemed too literal.

Sorry to say, but this was the tackiest one.

And then this. How beautiful and elegant. She looks like she jumped out of a Renaissance painting.

Finally, the last dress that impressed me so very much. I just love the champagne color. The only thing I hate are those shoes...seems like the coordinator chose the wrong shoes before rushing her on to the runway.
