Alexander McQueen capsule collection

UNLINED

capsule collection

An old unlined sofa picture is the basis of a reflection that allows the birth of this capsule collection thought for Alexander McQueen.

‘Unlined’ celebrates the beauty of what’s on the inside, that is usually hidden and proves the work that there is behind a creation, that can be a sofa or a dress.

For this reason the classic English sartorial male blazers are taken to bring outside, through embroideries, the reinforce stitches that usually are on the inside of male blazer, stitches that prove the beauty of the insides and the very long work of every tailor.

Also underwear, that is usually hidden, is brought outside and it’s possible to see it in shapes and materials.

Leather, deconstruction and embroideries cannot miss for the romantic and sophisticated McQueen’s woman.

Deconstructed jacquard fabrics with floral patterns that recall the tapestry of an old sofa are the proof of the origin of this capsule collection. Filet lace recalls underwear world and its delicacy add a romanticism touch to the collection.

Embroidery that reproduces inner stitches of male blazers is given up in a ‘not-finished’ that celebrates the beauty of imperfection given by the handmade work, with some threads pending from revers.

Among the accessories we can find a wood heel that recalls the base of an old sofa, and some bags that combine the rigidity of the leather with the femininity of embroideries, jacquard and filet lace.
