Flock of Fantasy

Birds of paradise walked the runways at the Alexander McQueen show. The clothes were exquisite, albeit extreme, but this is Alexander McQueen after all. Sarah Burton's white-as-snow dresses seemed to echo Kate's, whilst the black morned their master. Here though I wanted to focus on the former of the collection.

Ice Maiden

Snow Queen

Freja Beha Erichsen takes the lead in my favourite jacket of the season.

This dress reminds me of a tiered wedding cake.

And this one, of a fantastic jewelled bird, the train like a great feathered tail.

Which was your favourite?

And whilst I'm on the topic of fantasty, I wanted to share this photograph from the Alexis Mabille show:

Mermaid hair, no?
