• Alexander McQueen
• Pre-Fall 2013

Using a strict colour palette of winter white, black and pops of red carpet red, creative director and expectant mother Sarah Burton delivers a pre-fall collection inspired by the clergy of the church. Found throughout is a baroque-inspired black and white print that can be found on the dramatic floor length cape, ankle length pencil skirts and flared coats.

Overall there is a distinctive divide between wearable pieces and the costume like, artistic pieces that the McQueen label has become know for. The heavy cloak like draping and capes are simply gorgeous and I don’t think I will ever be able to get enough of the short flared coat - knee high boots combinations.

New character for Conte de Fees: The Snow Queen, based off the fairy tale where her title came from!

I’m still developing her (and may change her design and colors here and there [not sure though since all white works for…well…a snow queen]) but I do know that she’s very curt, frigid, strict but when it comes to little boys she completely melts and will dote over them. Aka she loves the shotas (since in the story he kept Kai/Kay in her palace as her own and etc etc)

her design has some honeycombs and bee shapes to it since at one point in the story it’s mentioned that the snow she summons are like ‘snow bees’. There’s also a Russian style to her clothes and decorations too

Hope you like!
