At Alexander McQueen the look for pre-fall was decadent old world luxury. Plush velvet, rich embroidery and saturated colors dominated the collection. It's the kind of thing you'd expect to see in the closet of a Victorian era heiress: shamelessly expensive looking and at times, a bit too ostentatious. In fact, some looks ventured into overworked territory, but Sarah Burton was careful to include a fair share of basics and reduce the sex factor to keep the collection balanced, yet cohesive - something McQueen always did well. But even with all the embellishments, there was a clear sense of austerity in the full skirted, nipped waist silhouettes. Bosoms were fully covered (save one sheer lacy number), and only on rare occasion did an uncovered knee take stage. Glossy (but not patent) leather belts, bags and laced up boots rounded out the accessories. Stand out pieces included an egg-shaped lace covered teal dress, a divine wine colored fox fur coat and an embroidered sheer bell sleeved gown. Enjoy!
