Runway to Reality: Mary J Blige AT&T Commercial

I was watching a little television earlier this evening when my attention was drawn to a particular AT&T commercial. What sparked my interest? Well, it wasn't Mary J.

Rather, it was the print on Blige's tank top which I immediately recognized to be from the Alexander McQueen S/S 09 Collection. Although the tank top itself isn't a runway piece, I'm assuming they used that particular print design for a variety of RTW pieces. Click here to see Mary J in action (or just look below).

Where's the leather? Where are the Victorian shoulders, sleeves, and collars? There are some interesting graphic tee shirts, though, that I think will sell fast and those shoes aren't too bad either. Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think:
