Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 Men’s

It takes true talent (and your way around textile) to produce a collection that can make you both visually pleased and dizzied, all at once. From far, you might catch Alexander McQueen’s latest man as normal, but step a little bit closer and he isn’t your old run-of-the-mill kind of man. In a printed room with beams and floors both covered in skulls and dice intertwined to create an optical illusion-type print — if you have not come to love McQueen’s slightly grim and sometimes ironic prints, now is the best time for you to look away.

Evolving from last season’s paint stained pieces to more prints than your eye can take in at one moment, PVC jackets and face masks (that might bring back memories of Antony Hopkins in ‘Silence of the Lambs’) take on McQueen’s British flair. If you are looking for a Fall alternative to Romain Kremer’s Spring 2010 mouth covering tops or couldn’t get enough of the Dior’s extreme PVC Fall 2003 turtlenecks, look no further. What would normally give off a bondage and beyond kinky vibe, only put’s the phrase “it’s only human-nature” to work.

Managing to not make a mess out of what seemed like a million prints — zips, knits, and fur brought home the 36 look collection. Symbolically taking you on a journey from light to dark, starting off with a printed suit at the beginning of the show, to the black PVC that was it’s end.
