DALLAS, May 1, 2007/ FW/ --- For those watching the final season of ‘Stargate SG1’, Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2007 collection is reminiscent of the Goa'uld, a powerful race that according to Stargate lore were the Egyptian gods.

No, Stargate did not inspire the British designer; in fact, according to reports, Alexander McQueen was inspired by a distantly related ancestress who was convicted of being a witch in Salem in 1692.

Still, it was hard not to think of the Egyptian goddesses especially with the black lace bustier gown that is totally transparent and the swirling striped gown with a sculpted torso and sculpted skirt.

But, it was not all about Egyptian mythology. There was a black Puritan-inspired gown complete with a beaded cross. It had a drop down waist and the skirt was lined with green, draped and quilted lightly to create volume.

Now, that eveningwear, and believe it or not, they are wearable!

For daywear, McQueen proposed skintight leather pants that actually can also work as leggings. Snug fitting brief blouses with mutton sleeves and ruched in the front to show the shape of the figure.

Actually, the London-based designer did not just emphasize the female figure; he actually sculpted it, like the golden armor on a golden catsuit and the apron-like leather bustier worn as a top for a sheered skirt.

What is very interesting is that amidst all these fantasy elements, there are actually a lot of pieces that are wearable and truly highly covetable. Case in point, the blue and black mini dress with a short vest and the beige bustier mini that flared at the hips is worn over a beige turtleneck pullover.

Then, there is the blue quilted trapeze shaped coat with an oversized standing collar and the golden quilted trench coat cinched at the waist with a sash. Sometimes, instead of a sash, a bustier belt is used.

Of course, there is the requisite sweater dress and suit dresses, even a pantsuit set. Alexander McQueen successfully translated fantasy into street and red carpet worthy pieces. And, that is why Alexander McQueen rules!
