220616 – Alexander McQueen – SS17 New York

The Alexander McQueen collections from SS16 to SS17 have taken on a new femininity. With dresses that have intricate embellishment that overlays lace and organza creating long flowing lines that glide and float. Ghostly penumbras support their own portable imaginary floral fields, summer fields to walk through or bath in. The Pre Raphaelites were not the source of inspiration for these collections but as numerous Ophelia’s grace the catwalk silhouettes enshrined by nature’s beauty it is difficult not to have John Everett Mills painting in the back of ones mind. 

The Alexander McQueen team go from strength to strength.
