This is a big deal for Londoners, as this is the first major catwalk show for the brand and will coincide with the opening of a new four-story McQ flagship store opening in London’s exclusive Mayfair district.
The Fashion Week runway show will feature their autumn/winter 2012-2013 collection and will serve a preview for the clothing to land in the store opening later in the year.
McQ was launched in 2006 as a trendier more affordable version of the Alexander McQueen mainline designs. After McQueen’s death in February 2010, his assistant Sarah Burton took over as creative director of the fashion house.
Sarah Burton unveiled her 2012 Spring/Summer ready-to-wear collection for Alexander McQueen during Paris Fashion Week and to no surprise her collection got rave reviews.
This was Sarah’s third collection for the fashion house and it is being said that she brought “fragility and femininity to the catwalk.”
What you saw during the show was a lot of ruffles, form-fitting jackets, and silvery and pink dresses with a lot of sharp tailoring.

The Russian hottie walked the red carpet in a blue-feathered Alexander McQueen dress that showed off her seriously long legs. The dress was altered for Maria’s liking, as the original one seen on the runway was actually a long gown. I saw Maria on the red carpet yesterday and I spotted her from miles away because she was a) super tall and b) stunning.
And when I say past, I mean about 5 years ago.
While on her North American tour, one of the outfits Kate wore a cream colored Alexander McQueen dress.
