Basic Project Outline

 When we were first given the Alexander Mcqueen project we were assigned different themes to focus on from his already existing collections. The dancers were wanting a variety of looks ranging from his Gothic, tarten types themes to his bright Manta summer collections which was an advantage for us as we all favoured different things. I was more interested in researching into his Manta type collections as they included bright colours rather than dark, thick materials. After looking at his other collections I took a liking to his 2012 spring, summer collection that was supported by Sarah Burton. I loved the pastel pinks and other warms colours that were seen in this collection, I especially liked the textures of the dresses and how he had gathered the dresses up into a flower/ruffled type effect that gave it a really pretty, feminine effect. I was also really fond of the detail at the top of the dresses that enabled you to see the collar bones of the model, giving the dress a sense of elegance and unique twist.
