Alexander McQUEEN AW23 Menswear Collection

Inspiration
A return to formality. An exploration of beauty and power through men’s tailoring and a focus on cut, proportion and silhouette.
The classic subverted. Volume is alternatively neat – strict – and exploded. Jackets are spliced and slashed, stripped back and focussed on the body within. Waists are high, elongating the leg: the bumster in reverse. Kilts and the coverall are reimagined: both references
to early McQueen. The most prominent motif in the collection is the orchid, a cultivated flower. Like the tailoring it is dissected: printed, woven and embroidered. The McQueen seal appears alongside.
