13.01.2011- Butterfly, flutterby

As well as starring in Mulberry's latest campaign, Lindsey Wixson is also the face of Alexander McQueen's SS11 advertising:

I thought these pictures were simply too stunning not to share and I adored Sarah Burton's designs for spring/summer when they were debuted at Paris fashion week. The use of the butterfly motif here also really reminds me of McQueen's SS08 collection, which featured this fantastic hat created by Philip Treacy, bedecked with butterflies, and a stunning array of butterfly print dresses, which I'm still in awe of.

I love that whilst retaining momentum and driving the McQueen brand forward, Sarah Burton isn't afraid to look back at past collections for inspiration, as we see here. It just demonstrates how much of a visionary Lee McQueen really was.

What do you think of the Alexander McQueen ads?
