Last night was the turn of Alexander McQueen collection to take to the runway at Paris Fashion Week. It was Sarah Burton's second collection as head designer at Alexander McQueen. Putting the royal wedding rumours aside that Kate Middleton will be wearing an Alexander McQueen dress, this collection was our favourite collection at Paris Fashion Week.

The Autumn Winter 2011 2012 Ready To Wear collection runway took place at La Conciergerie, which was also used for Alexander McQueen's Autumn Winter 2002 'Supercalifragilistic' show. Sarah Burton reflected in the collection Alexander McQueen love of dark and light however it was the white gowns that were truely stunning adorned with heavy texture and feather and lace details. The collectional included fitted pencil dresses, hand embroidered structured bodices, mid length and long skirts and 500 metres of hand pleated chiffon forming the train of the exquisite 'wedding dress'. The wedding dress nearly didn't make it down the catwalk, after the model had a problem with the six-inch platform shoes.

The shoes at Alexander McQueens Autumn Winter 2011 2012 catwalk had hardwearing features including metal structured panels and studded detailing. All the shoes were uber high weather they were wedges or high heel ankle boots.

What do you think to Alexander McQueen's Autumn Winter 2011 2012 collection? Do you think Sarah Burton is reflecting true Alexander McQueen in her second collection for the label?
