Alexander McQueen Ready-to-Wear Spring 2013

 
  
 


Alexander McQueen show was buzzing .Once again Sarah Burton showed her 
greatness of the McQueen esthetic, its corseted shapes, structured suiting and skeletal hoop
 skirted style, and everything bee related. 
 The models' heads were covered in archly beekeepers' veils. The clothes  refracted 
a honeycomb motif through a dozen wasp-waisted guises, bound, haltered, and harnessed
 in a tortoiseshell.
 The femininity was in full effect in the evening wear with hoop-skirted gowns
 overflowing with blooms that would entice any bee hunting for sweet nectar.
The only criticism of this collection could be that at no point did it feel like ready to wear.
 The show should have been moved  to its rightful place on the haute couture calendar.
