Milan Fashion Week | Alexander McQueen Fall ’10

After a season’s break, Alexan­der McQueen returns to the run­way with the usual the­atrics sub­dued. Tightly wound to cre­ate ten­sion, the enig­matic col­lec­tion sets the stage with intense cam­ou­flage, bal­a­clavas and dras­tic sil­hou­ettes. Appear­ing as if doused in a spon­ta­neous yet rhyth­mic sequence of prints, McQueen breathes life into a mys­te­ri­ous char­ac­ter that brings with him uncer­tainty and excite­ment. The results are a play­ful mix of unortho­dox shapes that cap­ture McQueen’s genius and imag­i­na­tion, while also coin­cid­ing har­mo­niously with the collection’s more grounded pieces. Alto­gether, Mcqueen’s fall out­ing adds a gen­er­ous vital­ity to suit­ing and out­er­wear through prints, before pro­gress­ing for­ward with boxy cuts, tex­tured inserts and lay­ered proportions.

Feld Hommes | AJ & Steffen by Markus Pritzi

Pho­tographed for an edi­to­r­ial where the pig is dom­i­nant, the wide range of emo­tions and scenes acted out by AJ Abual­rub and Stef­fen Weng in Markus Pritzi’s lat­est edi­to­r­ial for Feld Hommes is left up to the inter­pre­ta­tion of the viewer.

Feld Hommes Preview | AJ Abualrub & Steffen Weng by Markus Pritzi
