Looks like Kenzo might have some stiff competition in the fashion film stakes.

Alexander McQueen has just released its campaign video for Fall 2012, taking viewers on a trippy sci-fi odyssey filled with billowing ruffles, mirrored visors, and a psychedelic display of flashing lights that would give even Grace Slick pause. (Speaking of flashbacks, is the frenetic instrumental soundtrack making anyone else recall Knight Rider?)

Platinum-tressed model Suvi Koponen pairs Sarah Burton's alien-chic Plexiglas visors and ruffled heels with a voluminous violet organza get-up for the shoot, which was lensed by photographer David Sims. Sims also shot the label's print campaign, which has no shortage of frothy frocks and otherwordly, Gareth Pugh-esque props.

Almost makes one yearn for an alien invasion ...
