This was arguably Alexander McQueen’s best ever runway show. More than 1,000 guests sat spellbound as one of the most beautiful, breathtaking fashion events was unveiled in front of their eyes.

McQueen’s has arguably been one of the most desirable show passes every season since he started out 14 years ago and, if that’s the case, the autumn/winter 2008-9 one will be the golden ticket.

McQueen has explained the premise of this season’s fashion show, describing his idea behind the theme:

“I’ve got a 600-year-old elm tree in my garden and I made up this story of a girl who lives in it and comes out of the darkness to meet a prince and become a queen”.

This was truly an unmissable event, and as you can see by these gorgeous pictures, McQueen’s designs are unlike any out there. More romantic and feminine than ever, McQueen certainly reminded us why his name is so renowned in the fashion world today.
