McQ

I have just heard from uni that we have the opportunity to go to London Fashion Week next year in Febuary.  I’ve always wanted to go and feel the excitement of the week to see creations that designers have spent every living minute slaving over. 

As this news is new to me and I literally can’t wait to go, so I found it fitting to slip in a small post about McQ. I just read today that Alexander McQueen’s line “McQ” is going to hit the catwalks for the first time at London Fashion Week next year.  McQ isn’t a well known line of the McQueen brand but it certainly is unique.  

The designs stick to the traditional “McQueen style” with tartan prints and an overall Heritage style.  A lot of the designs are roughened up and very punk. A few pieces look hand-made with safety pins covering them, but it works. (Just like everything else McQueen designers churn out to the catwalks.)

So far the label is only available at stores such as Selfridges and Net-A-Porter.  However, the designs shown on Febuary’s catwalks will be sold in the debut McQ store, opening next spring in Mayfair.  

They also have a very quirky and interesting website;
