Alongside the eerily beautiful look book images, an accompanying short film adds to the sprit of the collection. With snippets released on McQueen's Instagram account to tease viewers, we're looking forward to Autumn already.
This season is all about volume, all about ruffles. Now forget about girlish frills, this season, ruffles have grown up.
It's all about roughing up your ruffles this year. Ruffles for Spring Summer 2016 are here to add bold silhouettes, asymmetric tiered hems, voluminous sleeves and confident detailing to your wardrobe. Clash these traditionally feminine textures with androgynous accessories, edgy sheer layers and chunky bold shoes.
Forget about the wind and the rain. Drift off into a daydream of blue skies and warmer days as we take a look over our top Spring Summer 2016 ad campaigns. These new campaigns are just being released and signal the switch into the new season, and gives you a glimpse into what's ahead for SS16.
Model Sylvia Harper wanders through a haunting and eerie winter woodland in this lace infused editorial for POP's AW 2015 issue. Photographed and styled by Venetia Scott in a range of beautiful gowns and garments from the likes of McQueen, Simone Rocha, Valentino, Givenchy and more. An editorial capturing the highlights of the dark romantic influences upon the AW15 fashion scene at the moment.

The shaven haired half of the Bell twins, you will have no doubt spotted Ruth as the face of some of the biggest ad campaigns this AW15. From McQueen to Saint Laurent, Ruth has stepped away from her long-haired twin and is making a mark on the fashion industry with her extreme new look.
Keep your eyes on this beauty as she goes from strength to strength, catwalk to catwalk, editorial to editorial in the coming months. A call from the McQueen casting agent led to Ruth to taking the clippers to her long flowing hair, and now Ruth is giving us all buzz cut envy.
Keep up to date with the Bell twins on Instagram.

Layer of lace, body jewellery, antiqued chains , fairytale heroines - all inspired by the 17th Century rag trade of London's East End.
And for those of us who are sad it's over or for those of you who didn't get to make it along, the V&A museum has put together some behind the scenes footage, along with some pretty impressive stats. The first and largest retrospective of McQueen's work to take place in Europe was certainly a success.
Just last week SHOWstudio released a video of never seen before trippy fashion film footage, filmed by frequent McQueen collaborator, Nick Knight. So despite this being the end of Savage Beauty for now, something tells us this isn't the last we'll be hearing of it.

Big name photographer, but no big name models this season. McQueen has opted for three fresh new faces - Jamilla Hoogenboom and british model Ruth Bell. Each exploring the idea of abstract femininity and transcending themes of "nature, fragility and beauty", as used by Sarah Burton to describe the AW15 collection.

Fashion week for Autumn Winter 2015 has come to a close. Ending in Paris, the home of grand fashion and this time around full of many of the biggest highlights for the whole season. Most notably the hopelessly romantic beauty of Alexander McQueen for AW15. Taking it back to the home of McQueens first ever Paris show, the AW15 collection is beautifully inspired by a wilting rose and the porcelain features of Marie Antoinette.

Alexander McQueen have teamed up once more with Steven Klein to create a moody, slick and gothic Autumn Winter campaign for 2014.
We’ve been looking forward to this campaign ever since we first set eyes upon McQueens fairytale/Brothers Grim inspired AW14 catwalk show. A show which saw the models gliding around a foggy 'Sleep Hollow' style landscape in intricate and gothic lace gowns.
Klein is fast becoming McQueens go to guy, having photographed the equally moody SS14 campaign featuring the one and only Kate Moss. For AW14, the incredible Edie Campbell stars as the gothic queen who effortlessly and regally rocks McQueen’s latest looks.
As McQueen as it gets.

With the end of Paris Fashion Week last Wednesday, we also see the conclusion of Autumn/Winter 2014 fashion weeks. It has been a hectic few weeks, full of surprises, bold fashion statements, extravagant catwalks and lots of texture clashes.
Black lace also featured in the A/W 2014 collection of Nina Ricci. The use of lace in this collection really highlighted a key trend that we have witnessed at Paris as well as the fashion weeks from New York, London and Milan. Texture. So many designers presented pieces where soft materials were juxtaposed or layered directly with much harder textiles. In one look, Ricci teamed delicate lace sleeves with an empowering fitted velvet dress. In another, lace panels were adorned to a black leather dress. At NAVY, we love the juxtaposition of rugged leather with delicate lace. Always an ultra cool textile pairing.
So the madness of fashion week season is over. But we kind of miss it already!

But what we saw at PFW was lace. Black lace at that. Looking at the catwalks of Spring/Summer 2014, we saw a lot of white and pastel toned lace. The likes of Erderm, Elie Saab, Balmain, Burberry and others presented this delicate material as key elements of their collections. So it appears we are seeing the transition of lace between the seasons and into Autumn/Winter with the use of a lace in a more gothic and grunged up form.
Again, Elie Saab presented a collection full of opulent sheer dresses but this time in sweeping black lace. Inspired by the work of Mark Rothko, Saab’s collection also featured stunning ombre full length gowns mixed in with feminine velvet dresses. The fact that Angelina Jolie wore a S/S 14 Elie Saab gown to the Oscars hints that these A/W creations will be a hit on the red carpets next season.

PFW is a platform for chic creativity unlike any other fashion week. Chanel’s super cool hypermarket was big highlight of the week. The attention to detail was superb, creating an atmosphere and experience which those in attendance won’t forget quickly. (Especially those who managed to grab themselves a Chanel designed doormat or bottle of Chanel water as a momento!) But nobody can create an experience quite like Alexander McQueen. The etherial yet sinister forest scene put a chill in the air and helped to deliver a collection of full drama, romance and darkness. Again, texturing was a key element to this collection, full of wild furs, feathers and a fairytale innocence. Here we saw white lace for a change but this didn’t detract from the magical moodiness of the A/W collection and shows how well lace in any form can transcend all the seasons.
