McQ Alexander McQueen for Target










McQueen is one of my favorite designers, and this line is shaping up to look pretty awesome. THere are some great pieces. Any would make for kool "swagger" pieces to any fashion centric girls collection. Good gift for guys lookin to give there GFs that little something special for Valentine's. And its all reasonably priced considering the designer and the craftmenship involved. I bet there gonna go quick, maybe as fast as when Commes des Garcons did that line for H&M last year.

McQ Alexander McQueen for Target will feature lightweight sweaters, skinny jeans, bubble dresses, slim skirts and cuffed shorts. Signature pieces include a coated cotton poplin black trench, a rock ’n’ roll gray denim cropped studded jacket, a men’s wear-inspired tuxedo blazer and a color-blocked one-shoulder dress with bubble hem. The collection also will include swimwear and cotton voile print scarves.

The collection has a muted color palette of black, white, gray and tan with accents of cobalt blue and bright pink. Studs and mesh give items an edge. For example, a chambray sleeveless shirtdress has stud detailing, there’s a mesh wrap dress and an open yarn zipper cardigan. Graphic prints and silk-screen photographs give tunics, dresses and T-shirts visual interest. The Leila silk-screen T-shirt with a necklace collar was designed for The Duke Spirit lead singer, while other band members are immortalized on a sleeveless jersey T-shirt.
