Alexander McQueen at Paris Fashion Week

If you had any doubt about Sarah Burton being the right girl for the job, look no further. This collection is everything the late Lee Alexander McQueen could have hoped for and again a perfect homage to the man. I was wondering the other day if Sarah Burton was scared to do anything other than what you'd expect from McQueen, maybe she doesn't want to upset anyone by giving it her own twist. Then i thought no, this is the McQueen image, she helped to build. Anything else would be out of place. So i'm happy to see the return on low-rise trousers, strong shoulders, big prints and some incredible shapes. Also in other news, the McQ label has now gone back to being run and over seen by the Alexander McQueen label with Sarah Burton at the helm.



Amy Winehouse x Fred Perry

So back in March we heard that Amy would be collaborating with legendary label Fred Perry. They're come up with a 17 piece collection. With pretty everything you could want: pencil skirts, polo shirts, jumper dresses and a coat. I've got to say it looks pretty rock 'n' roll, i'm really into the look. Shame Amy still looks like a crack head. So anyway here's a few flicks from the look book.

Viktor And Rolf SS 2011

Another unbelievable collection from the unstoppable duo. Their spring look is based around the man button up shirt. Creating multi-sleeved huge (always huge with Viktor and Rolf) dresses! They've also come up with some softer white satin dresses and blouses. But note the collars and cuffs, reverting back to the classic mens shirt. There was a large amount of victorian esque lace adding a more elegant feel to the collection. After the last collection, we saw Florence Welch sporting one of the ruffled tule collections in 'Hurricane Drunk' music video. Which pop star do you think will be first to snap up one of these creations? Lady Gaga prehaps?
