MIDDLE PARTINGS
The collection comprises ten looks, presented in pairs.
The waist is cinched and the hips are exaggerated throughout.
Volumes are overblown but lightness is paramount.
Hyper-worked embellishment demonstrates an obsessive attention to detail – and detail within detail.
Sharp pressing, multiple folds, quintuple and dégradé pleats, soutache embroidery, triple bulleting, silk and metal thread embroideries, enamelled flowers and more all feature
. Rhombic grids lend a sense of graphic modernity to surfaces.
Pearls and teardrop pearls evoke beauty and rarity.
Hoop skirts, caging and corsetry enhance and idealise a quintessentially feminine silhouette and introduce an erotic undercurrent further suggested by stockings, suspender belts and harnessing.
Each look is worn with an embellished ruff: faces are framed.

MENS AUTUMN/WINTER COLLECTION 2013
Hybrid garments are prominent, appearing as if styles have been fused together. A tailored jacket has a leather biker-jacket inspired belt and back, whilst a coat and bomber jacket come together as one, and a smart trouser features leather and fabric panels. Athleticwear and knitwear merge to create a polo neck jumper with monochrome tracksuit sleeves and a smart trouser with sport side stripes. Tailoring is mod-inspired, including a three-button jacket and a waistcoat with buttons positioned high up on the garment. Other subculture influences include jeans that appear to be covered in red bleached marks, and a classic over-sized parka with fur hood. Layered and lacquered prints build on top of each-other, contrasting the traditional and the modern.

There's no question that Lady Gaga was a muse for fashion designer Alexander McQueen. His eccentric style meshed well with Gaga's fearless fashion sense. The pop singer even paid tribute to the fashion icon in her catchy 'Bad Romance' video last year -- strutting around in a pair of McQueen's infamous lobster claw heels and runway designs.
