Alexander McQueen Womenswear Collections 2012 and 2013

Spring 2012;

In the spring 2012 collection the jacket tailoring is interesting, and slightly 18th century esque, i epseically like the idea of the low front jacket showing a bra underneath, this could possibly work on a character such as lady Sneerwell or Lady Teazle

It also has some dresses that have pleats or structure to exaggerate the hips in a similar way to the panniers of the 18th century, perhaps instead of having full panniers they could just have these exaggerated pleats.

Fall 2012;

Similarly to Spring 2012, this collection also has the large exaggerated pleating in the skirt

I was thinking of making Mrs Candour a Sheep, so these large fluffy dresses could work to create the over the top fluffy frilly natu re of her character.

Spring 2013;


Similar structured hips within the Spring 2013 collection as well as exaggerated waists and corsetry. The jackets also remind me a bit of pet en lairs, perhaps they could be worn over historical skirts.
