With a catwalk that resembled something from Victorian London, Alexander McQueen's FW 09 menswears collection was definitely rooted in history. Entitled McQueensbury after the Marquis of Queensbury, whose name became synonomous with fair play in the Boxing ring there was definitely a tough feel to the show.
The cast of models and professional boxers were clad in slim-fit Edwardian suits in Harris Tweed and sturdy wools; shirts collars were tiny, a big trend here, and all the men wore boots, burnished at the toe, another Milan must-have this season. Topcoats were cut short; the better for a pub brawl, and every model wore short hats, either mini brim Trilbies or more rakish Homburgs.
