alexander mcqueen, fall 2011

aww yeah, baby -- now this is hot. and even though "alexander the great" is missed, new mcqueen designer, sarah burton, is still maintaining his crazy/fun aesthetic. and how! the clothes were futuristic, luxurious, and just plain cool. loved the monochrome layering, the touches of fur, and especially loved the laced-up boots seen in a lot of the looks. plus, i definitely enjoyed seeing all this amazing fashion in the show's chosen color palette -- black, white, and grey.
