Alexander McQueen: Tailoring

Signature sharp tailoring is cut in traditional menswear fabrics including Donegal tweed, sharkskin mohair, camel and black gabardine, panelled in contrasting shades and with sharp dart detailing. The relationship between Alexander McQueen men’s and womenswear is seen in the use of couture fabrics including double duchesse satin in rich and metallic shades inspired by the minerals and ores hidden beneath the earth’s surface. Referencing Scottish flora is an inky black thistle print over-embroidered with hammered gold bullion. Finally, the perfectly cut tuxedo appears in various incarnations: singleor double-breasted and with trompe l’oeil detailing.
