McQ’s Renegade Fall ’13
London fashion week is upon us, and who better to get things rolling than McQ? Instead of putting on a show, the label (McQueen’s competitively priced sister line) is launching a sneaky guerrilla campaign that will break tomorrow. The project features McQ’s very first fashion film, which, shot by Roger Deckker, was inspired by twentieth-century avant-garde Czechoslovakian and postwar Italian cinema. (Come on, it’s McQ. Did you really expect anything less?) Shot against backdrops of modern London and the British countryside, the film debuts McQ’s Fall ’13 collections with vignettes that are at once romantic, unsettling, futuristic, and nostalgic. “The film and imagery capture McQ’s youthful aesthetic, offering something that remains true to the brand’s rebellious and urban heritage,” says Alexander McQueen CEO Jonathan Akeroyd. Take a first look at the new men’s and women’s collections in the brand’s Fall ’13 mood images (above) and film (below), both of which debut on Style.com.
Shop the Look: Halloween
With the aftereffects of Hurricane Sandy still being felt all up and down the East Coast, Halloween may not be top of mind for every reveler. If you ask us, an evening devoted to candy consumption can only help. Even if you’re not feeling costume-ready, there are plenty of chic ways to give a subtle (or slightly less subtle) nod to the holiday. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorites from Mulberry, McQ, and more. They won’t get here same-day, of course, but it’s never too early to start planning for All Hallow’s Eve 2013.

Get The Look: Major Monochrome
At the Style.com offices we’ve become just about immune to models with great off-duty style. But these girls have a way of getting to trends before the average shopper—even before they hit the runway. Take Xiao Wen Ju, for example, who was snapped in London in a black and white ensemble much like those that covered the catwalks throughout fashion month. From the chunky oversized knit to the distressed leggings and black motorcycle booties, her outfit looks totally fresh and comfortable. Get the look with the essentials below.
