Staying true to the brand's signature style, the McQ by Alexander McQueen Fall 2012 collection combines a traditional British military aesthetic with a Victorian one. By meshing these two themes together, the fashion line manages to balance masculine and feminine elements beautifully and even dramatically.
Starring model Meghan Collison, the McQ by Alexander McQueen Fall 2012 lookbook centers around an autumn palette of army green, cream, black and oxblood. Darkly elegant, the Canadian beauty wears the strict silhouettes as if they were uniforms while somehow maintaining a demure disposition. The romantic Gothic undertone helps in that department. From cinched waists and bell-shaped skirts to high collars and lace shirts, the collection is made for the modern sophisticate. The line is accompanied by equestrian-inspired accessories.
