Alexander McQueen - Spring/Summer 2012 Full Fashion Show

Two words sprung into our heads watching Sarah Burton's S/S 2012 women's collection for Alexander McQueen shown in Paris yesterday - romantically aggressive. We love the juxtaposition of classic romantic layered dreams with elements of bondage complete with gimp masks. Hell yes! Different body parts exposed whilst others demure. We love that this was the first women's show after the lavish royal wedding, and that Sarah does not conform or buckle under the pressure of heading this fashion house with iconic status. It seems effortless really. Watch belooow! Can we pleaaaaseeeee see Kate Middleton in a Royal gimp mask. Pretty plzzzz. 

"This is a collection about excess. It's an exploration of ideals of beauty at their most extreme. We go to such lengths to adorn ourselves that we almost become our clothes or are taken over by them."
