Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 Runway Review

Sarah Burton was inspired by bees this season, which was immediately evident in the honeycomb beekeeper hats and honeycomb prints, fabrics, and embellishments on nearly every look. Ornate details were bountiful in the dramatic collection which came complete with hook skirts, harnesses, tiered skirts, cage skirts, peplums, and tapestry fabrics — all of which gave a good chunk of the collection a period feel.

This may not be the stuff that makes for high commercial appeal, but when it comes to museum-worthy designs, it’s pretty tough to top McQueen.
