Alexander McQueen menswear collection is back to its hometown; London. Looking at this collection by designer Sarah Burton, one cannot get enough of it. It reminds us of the early days of McQueen where we can find a strong bond between the men’s and women’s collections.
Burton moved us to tears with this collection. We find Trompe l’oeil suiting with imagery of exploding florals that went from miniatures into abstract designs, sitting atop of the finest tailoring. The ambiance inside the magnificent Charterhouse, a former Carthusian monastery in London and the romantic classic background music, elevates the experience and the collection.
Menswear returns to be elegant and sophisticated. Burton borrows from the women’s side, using delicate embroidery to add texture to jackets, and the jewelry becomes precious heirlooms that will be passed down through generations, regardless of gender. We have found our clothes for that “dress to impress” occasion.
