Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 RTW

Once again Sarah Burton has managed to create a beautiful masterpiece that is
the McQueen Spring 2012 show.
Inspired by the three G's; Grès for the pleating and draping, Gaudí for the architecture and Gaia for the sense of ocean life that gave complexity to the clothes.
The clothes were of a translucent soft palette colour, almost like the inside of a shell, which featured shell detailing, barnacle pattern jacquard, ribbed oyster print chiffon, oil slick looking 
leather and gold pleated organza to give the sense of real life pirates treasure, with
the models walking like how "jellyfishes walk in the sea".
Burton really does bring the queen out of McQueen.
