Alexander Mcqueen new line juxtaposes contrasting colours

Eveningwear feels deconstructed yet effortless, including easy dresses in tiger and floral print with lace inserts and pin-tuck detailing. A series of jacquard party dresses in a tonal tiger jacquard have corset-style lacing at the back and play with the contrast between matte and shiny.

Shirts have historical details and feature asymmetric openings and collars, often inspired by the McQueen archive.

A white shirt in an archive style is updated with a tiger print and is partially sheer. Shirts are often twisted and re-draped, or appear to have been cut and pasted - a collar becomes a cuff, or a fastening is twisted from the front to the back.

Tiger floral, tiger tartan degradé, tiger Prince of Wales degradé, anchor twirl, kaleidoscope zip, floral.
