McQ, motivated by the work of Alexander McQueen, has released its lookbook for the Fall 2010 collection. Even though it seems we’ve seen it all before, grunge, in all its shabby glory, is still the word of the season.
Undoubtedly, the McQ by Alexander McQueen collection draws on the legacy of another late rebellious idol, Kurt Cobain. Models Dan Felton and Jethro Cave sport layers upon layers of knits, stripes and flannel and most noticeably, a revamped cargo short over anti-fit gray leggings.
