King McQueen and a Rather Dull YSL

Pre-fall from Alexander McQueen featured long silhouettes with volume placed at the extremities in the form of fishtail skirts, layered jackets and bell sleeves.

I'd love for the stained-glass print (center) to overtake the tired tattoo as the lazy labelwhore's look du jour. (Haven't we had our fill of Ed Hardy yet? I mean, when the skanks on Rock of Love are fans, you need to take a step back and reconsider your choices.)

Meanwhile, Yves Saint Laurent gave us this elegant (but been-there-done-that) Grecian gown and a sick asymmetric leather bomber. Beyond that, there wasn't much that was flattering or innovative. The highwater pleated pants, plain shift dresses and torso-widening woven details did nothing for me.
