    FWIW, from a fashion enthusiast:

    The fellow right of center is wearing McQ which is Alexander McQueen's diffusion line. McQueen himself has been deceased for a while, so his vision isn't fully reflected here: it's only being interpreted by the people closest to him when he passed (never the same as the real thing).

    McQueen identified strongly with Scotland. He paid homage to it in stunningly beautiful, wrenching, and emotional collections that showcased his masterful tailor's skill in tandem with historic tragedy - Google "Highland Rape" and "Widows of Culloden" to see what I mean.

    He was a true artist and he had a deep and reverent love of Scotland and her history, and I tend consider his works with an open mind in light of these truths.

    A lot of high fashion is about experimentation and it doesn't always work, but when it does watch out.

    "...A lot of high fashion is about experimentation and it doesn't always work, but when it does watch out."


    Agreed.

    In this opinion, high fashion "has to be" somewhat to greatly over "street fashion" in order to get the designers' messages across. From a practical clothing industry POV, it has been a long, long time since a "breakthrough" article of men's clothing has become mainstream (bluejeans?)...

    ...and possibly some are pondering the possibility, "...there's gold in them there kilts...."
