ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
MENSWEAR
THE SPRING / SUMMER 2024 MENSWEAR COLLECTION. A REFINED SIMPLICITY. A FOCUS ON CUT, PROPORTION AND SILHOUETTE. A CONTINUED EXPLORATION OF ANATOMY, NOW SOFTER, MORE MOULDED AND CURVED. TAILORING IN TRADITIONAL WOOLS IS CONSTRUCTED WITH A ROUNDED OR A NEAT, SHARP SHOULDER AND A NARROW WAIST. OVERCOATS, TRENCH COATS, PARKAS, LEATHERS, DENIM, SHIRTS AND SHORTS WORN WITH KNEE BOOTS ARE GROUNDED WITH UTILITY DETAILING.
CLOTHING IS KNOTTED AROUND THE BODY - APPARENTLY SEAMLESS. CEREMONIAL EMBROIDERY AND SOFT APPLIQUÉD HARNESSING ARE INSPIRED BY ARCHIVE MCQUEEN; THREE-DIMENSIONAL HAND CROCHETED KNIT AND CHIAROSCURO FLOWERS INSPIRED BY DUTCH OLD MASTER PAINTINGS. AN ABSTRACT FOLD PRINT, DEVELOPED BY LONG TIME MCQUEEN COLLABORATOR, SIMON UNGLESS, EXTENDS INTO JACQUARDS AND EMBROIDERIES, WRAPPING THE BODY - THE ANATOMY - WITHIN.
