When I first saw the Alexander McQueen fashion show, last October, I have thought there was something strange but fascinating in that collection. Then I read the press release and I saw one more time the outfits and I discovered what was it: the world of "Bee" - a matriarcal world in which "women" collaborate with other "women". But this fascinating world was emphasised by other elements such as the crinoline, a rigid structure that come from Marie Antoniette's era. Crinoline was the real Queen of the show: it stands out from a full skirt, under a veil of tulle, or adorns a bustier top. It gives a particular allure to the woman, walking on it. And, as always, when the past meets the present the result is enchanting! There couldn't be a best way to give a new birth to crinoline!
