Alexander McQueen Fall 2009 by David Burton
Well it’s here. After months of waiting in unspeakable torment, the campaign for Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2009 Men’s collection is finally here. The collection that I like to refer to as, one of the strongest men’s showing in the past decade. Which surly, I know that I am not the only one that feels that way.
Channeling what you would get if Jack the Ripper and Sweeny Todd were to join forces and create a 45 look collection, McQueen sticks with one of the key factors that made up the show. As it’s usually common for make-up and styling from the runway to get watered-down for the general public to be able to grasp the concept of what we “fashion insiders” see, the designer known for not giving into the Paris Hilton’s of today, opts to keep the same exact styling and the same exact models.
Yes, that’s right. I solved the short-lived mystery. Using the same exact men and the same exact looks that they wore, photographer David Burton captures the true essence of what I’m sure McQueen was aiming for.
My only complaint – Why was Tyler Riggs and his closing look not in this campaign? *Sigh*
Tyler was robbed. He was BUILT to wear McQueen.
Lol. So true! I guess the jacket/vest would have looked kind of odd or not even show at all from any of those angles up above. It’s a shame though. :/
when mcqueen does stuff like this i love it!!! reminds me of the "vampire" collection he did a few yrs ago.
True Blood meets high fashion. Love it.
I totally agree in that this collection was one of the strongest men's showings in the past decade. It could only come from AMcQ. The campaign seems like and extension of the runway show, which was a brilliant idea. If it works (which it did), stick with it. He's truly a visionary.P.S. What really amazed me abt this collection was that EVERY single piece was wearable! Usually when McQ does an overt presentation, some of the clothes are strictly meant for the runway. Not this time.

love this.i love alexander mcqueen!
