RUNWAY RUNDOWN : ALEXANDER MCQUEEN FALL 09

oh where to begin?

i love mcqueen.
he's an extremely talented tailor,
a visionary along the lines of galliano,
and not afraid to try new things
(UNLIKE galliano).

his runways are not runways, 
they are theatre.

witness fall 09:


why yes,
yes it IS very gangs of new york
meets sweeney todd
meets 300.

leather aprons, breastplates, codpieces and all.

so good for nipping out to the corner for a gallon of . . . blood.
angst.
daniel day lewis.

i'm glad i took the time to look further,
specifically backstage.
the runway did not do the clothing justice:


serious outerwear,
timeless tailoring,
some chunky knits you could sleep in,
and suiting to have sex in.

and yes please
to the sheared mink
and red bondage gloves:


never know when you're gonna get chilly
while tying up your victim . . .
