The final Alexander McQueen collection was revealed in a small, private show at the end of Paris Fashion Week. At the time of McQueen's death there were still 16 pieces only 80% completed. The fashion house's team worked overtime to complete the master's vision.
The models were stoic with a quiet beauty, almost looking like mannequins. The clothing looked to be from another era. McQueen found inspiration in the art of the Old Masters. He also wanted to return to the beauty of handcrafted clothing and eschew the futuristic and modern ideas of his contemporaries. Dresses resembled rich tapestries and gowns were fit for royalty. McQueen did not leave out his signature symbol though; crocodile booties encrusted with gold cherubs also featured skulls.
The collection was innovative, had incredible detail and was the perfect representation of McQueen's genius.
McQueen's parent company, PPR, says the line will continue.
