| Core looks of the show |

| The detailing of the collection is so akin to nature the wheat, leaves( which I believe to be ivy leaves), butterflies, the pointelle design and patterns that a line perfectly to create a new illusion. |

| Now that's an intricate WEAVE! |
Alexander Mcqueens spring/summer 2011 collection included dazzling prints, 'corn dolly' dresses in raffia and tailcoated-trouser suits with horse-hair spines. One-shoulder dresses were handworked from individual ivy leaves in leather, which entwined the body. The clothes were accessorized with gold, square-toed, hobnail boots with hand-carved 'iris' heels.
The concept of the collection was true to the spirit of Alexander McQueen in its dramatic silhouettes, but introduced a new mood of romance.
The collection concluded with a spectacular parade of gothic and medieval gowns, in poppy-printed silk, shadow-dyed chiffon, and gold raffia and pheasant feathers, ending with a huge crinoline in smoke-grey ostrich feathers. Its nice to see that the vision didn't change tremendously under the new creative director Sara Burton.
