ODE to A. McQueen

Lead by the ornate collection from the late Alexander McQueen, the fall 2010 season was spattered with medieval references of the rich and regal kind. Plush velvets, jacquards and silk brocades were an artful display of luxury in a perhaps less-than-luxurious time. Will these references carry their way into the new year? We'll be able to tell you soon enough as the fall 2011 collections hit the runway, and our pages soon thereafter. In the meantime, BJ Pascual brings us this breathtaking pictorial featuring more of those rich and regal pieces - transposed to a modern casino setting. Jessica Yang stars.
