While contemplating Charles Darwin, Alexander McQueen’s “survival of the fittest”  collection made for most-memorable show in a bevy of aspects; from the revolving earth installation in the backdrop to the myriad of endangered species taxidermied animals lining the runway, McQueen sure knows how to put on quite a show, or rather, see a motif through to the end. The clothes themselves moved from natural elements and motifs in soft fabrications and intricate drapings into a futuristic foray destined to embody the harsh reality of industrialization. Engineered prints of florals and fringe ruled the day, and the final send-off by McQueen was the zinger that tied the collection together; he appeared for his bow in a fuzzy bunny suit.
