McQueen Rocks

When Alexander McQueen decided to launch a diffusion line, he didn’t just churn out a watered-down version of his main collection, or a range of logo tops and denim. Instead, he came up with McQ, a brand new label for men and women that blends a street-tough British aesthetic (studded biker jackets, zip-through denim dresses, lace-sided pencil skirts) with more whimsical pieces (chunky hand-knits and swirling capes).

MCQ is now starting to appear on shelves at Intermix and Bergdorfs. We’re loving the Denim Dress (shown below):
