Trendology: Alexander McQueen Menswear S/S Collection 2011

This is the first collection of Sarah Burton as the creative director for Alexander McQueen and even though she is playing safe with this collection, I am satisfied with what I see here.

The collection is inspired by the British gentlemen look in the early 19th century and also I can see Sarah is using a lot of reference from the past McQueen collections. Even though this collection is not very coherence, it does show the variety styles Sarah is trying to achieve here.  Some of my favorites are the double breast red jacket pairing with red/grey wool pants (I love the pockets!), the slim cut black tuxedo blazer, the black/gold long coat, and the gradient blazer.

Judging from this collection, I am sure Sarah will continue to grow with this brand and I am definitely excited to see her F/W menswear collection (and of course I will not want to miss her first debut for S/S womenswear). Keep it up!
