In Short
White walls, rounded corners, mirrors, bright lights and techno beats create the sterile, futuristic ambience for British wunderkind Alexander McQueen's spacious New York outpost. The designs are fun and hip, mixing fairy-tale Victorian styles with hyper-modern details. Browsing the racks here is an exciting experience--one can actually imagine the designer flouting the fashion establishment with unabashed use of color and sexy cuts for his lacy bustiers, low-cut hip huggers and whimsical, gauzy evening gowns.
