Alexander McQueen Fall 2013 Runway Show Canceled

Due to the expectation of twins in February, Sarah Burton was forced to cancel the upcoming Alexander McQueen Fall 2013 runway show. Instead, Burton will show the Fall 2013 collection to a group of about 100 editors on March 5th, followed by appointments for buyers later that evening according to WWD.

Burton isn't the only designer to pull out of fashion week {Peter Som, Chris Benz, and Katie Holmes have also announced that they're skipping out this season} but maternity leave is a pretty solid reason. Though we are sad to hear about the show, twins are a big deal.

Congratulation Sarah, we wish you a smooth delivery.

Alexander McQueen Resort 2013

After a few seasons of intensely detailed dresses and gowns Sarah Burton changed things up a little for the Alexander McQueen Resort 2013 collection.

"I wanted to bring everything back to the body." Burton told Style.com "The proportions are extreme: high waists, an elongated leg, a peaked shoulder. There's a harder, more precise, masculine edge that's a reaction to the roundness and the sickly-sweet femininity of the last collection."

Inspired by David Bowie {Glam Rock} and Gustav Klimt {Art Deco}, Burton created a very structured/masculine collection adding feminine by featuring metallic jacquard and intricate embroidery.

I only have one word: GORGEOUS!!!!
