Walk the Walk: McQ Alexander McQueen

Forget about the punk impression you have when you think of McQ because this season, Sarah Burton is changing the game plan and wants you to know it runs the same DNA as the big sister brand Alexander McQueen.

Sarah Burton has created a very dark McQ army by combining the military and Victorian style together. Many of the pieces, especially the menswear, are very structured and sharp in tailoring. In order to have the essence from Alexander McQueen collection, the big hip silhouette is used on women's pieces. By combining the brocade with the signature silhouette, many of the pieces become very dark and edgy. If you are a fan of Alexander McQueen, the last few gowns will instantly remind you of the signature collection.

Pros:
- I love how Sarah Burton uses the Alexander McQueen signature silhouette for this collection. It immediately helps the audience to associate this collection with the main brand.
- I like the brocade pieces a lot. They look very elegant and edgy
- The artificial flower pieces are stunning. They are dramatic and have a strong Alexander McQueen vibe.
- The menswear are very structured and will be easy for a lot of men to carry those looks.

Cons:
- The live stream is really not working for me. I know there is a concept behind it, but it might be better if the live stream is straight forward without any gimmick.

Eye Candies:
- Red brocade skirt
- Black leather jacket with fur sleeves
- Blue/green tartan trench dress
- Green/brown military jacket
- White floral lace gown
