Alexander McQueen Pre-SS23 Collection

For their latest collection, the house of Alexander McQueen continue to do what they have done best for decades - offer sharp and modern tailoring with utilitarian detailing.

The tailoring, is as always, crisp as you like. As is the McQueen way, the silhouette for pre-SS23 is ever so slightly exaggerated, on the cusp between formal and street as shoulders are accentuated and waists and tightened. The luxury element comes via the details, which include hardware, metal eyelets, patchwork and panelling with embroidery and appliqué. The accessories within the collection also take that theme and run with it, with bold eyewear, sneakers that match suiting and belts, bags and the like punctured with metal eyelets.

Away from tailoring, the more casual pieces within the SS23 collection are lust-worthy. Sweaters, hoodies and the classic leather jacket have all been given the McQueen treatment and will make well worthy wardrobe investment pieces for years to come.
