Alexander McQueen has always been known for extravagance, depth, and thought-provoking performances. After his death, Sarah Burton has done a fantastic job of both continuing and revamping his legacy.

Four years before his 2010 death, Alexander McQueen introducted die-hard fans to his contemporary line, McQ. Originally promoting denim, the line has taken off with it's own boutique and runway.

McQ's Fall 2012 runway show is taking over social media and gossip alike. The catwalk showcased black, lace, florals, army green, leather and crimson.
