Milan Fashion Week 2010 Womenswear - Byblos

Alright this was a late minute entry into my lineup of ones to review but its like that saying "save the best for last", although it'll probably still be around the third or fourth best this season for me. I know you are there saying who is Byblos and why is he ranting and raving on about this brand that isn't yet a household name on our side of the world.

Well, its because and don't get me wrong or take this too far out of context but...is it only me or did Alexander Mcqueen die and reincarnate himself into the body of the designer at Byblos...this collection has so many traits of the legendary Mcqueen house but not only the fit and the construction, its also the unbelievable futuristic edgy yet wearable aura of the clothing and what about those graphic prints, can you tell me where we've seen them before...*hmm hmm thinking thinking*, exactly Mcqueen's spring collection for the women and the menswear collection for Fall...could Byblos satisfy our future cravings of Mcqueen's brilliance...

Alright, enough of the comparison because there is no way Lee will ever be replaced but its not about replacing, its about seeing that element of interest once more, its about staring at clothing and wondering the thought process behind them...and this is what Byblos gave me, maybe not as extreme as Lee with the shows and theatrics but definitely a designer who knows what he is doing! I remained stunned at this collection and it will definitely be sketched in my heart as a tribute to a great with their many similarities and sorry Byblos that Mr.Mcqueen took over majority of your post but then again, why sorry when that is one of the worlds biggest compliments, Congrats on an amazing showing!
