McQ Spring 2012 Lookbook

La línea más joven de Alexander McQueen se llama McQ y para primavera 2012 nos trae un guardarropa con algo para cualquier ocasión y muy fácil de usar... Pero ¿saben qué? No soy tan fan de ésta colección (TAN es la palabra clave). ¿Por qué? Bueno, es solo porque ésta temporada McQ se convirtió en marc by Marc Jacobs... Y AMO marc by MJ así como AMO McQ, pero sus estilos solían ser diferentes.
Les muestro que no estoy borracha ni nada parecido: he aquí unas comparaciones pequeñas y la colección Spring 2012 completa y ustedes opinen.
Solo para que quede asentado en el acta: me gustó mucho ésta colección, pero siento que pierde un poco de la esencia agresiva y alternativa que tenía antes.
¿O acaso soy la única que lo cree?

The younger line of Alexander McQueen is called McQ, and for spring 2012 brings a wardrobe for every ocassion and very easy to wear... But, you know? I'm not such a fan of this collection (SUCH is the key word). Why? Well, just because this season McQ turned to be marc by Marc Jacobs... and I LOVE marc by MJ but y also LOVE McQ and they used to have such different styles!
I'm gonna show you I'm no drunk or something like that: I leave you some comparisons and the full spring 2012 collection and you can judge.
By the way, I wanna write thet I liked this collection very much, but I fell that it had lost some of the agressive and alternative esence that McQ used to have.
Or am I the only one who thinks so?
