Military McQueen

You know we always pick our favorite collections and we had to add another standout to 2012 Resort.  It’s the latest Alexander McQueen show by Sarah Burton.  It has so many of the upcoming trend elements we are following from the cinched waist (with it’s hint of fetish appeal), crisp profile, camels (we are falling in love with camel), the trademark necklines, buttons and military inspiration to the longer body conscious profile.  The themes of lace and leather continue to be explored in news ways and seem like “must” wardrobe staples.  Even the messy chignon is a great work to dinner to party look.  I’m ready to enlist.
