Alexander McQueen Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
The changing of the guard at McQueen began with a woman wrapped in shiny black laminated jersey, with one arm pinioned across her breast, the other tucked inside the skirt. Seán McGirr said he’d been inspired by looking at The Birds, Lee McQueen’s spring ’95 collection, in which he’d encased a model in transparent pallet tape. “This sort of idea of a compressed silhouette actually anchors the whole collection,” the 35-year-old newbie in the hot seat was saying before the show.
McGirr said he’s not had a chance to delve into the archives yet , but had taken his initial cues from looking at runway photos, mixed with paparazzi pictures of Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse. What he took from them, to set his tone, was more the vibe than literal references. “It’s a man or woman who are hedonistic characters,” he said. “In a way it was like, these sort of people who modeled for McQueen in the ’90s, they kind of looked like people on the fringes. Outsiders.
McGirr likes the idea of cutting up, customizing, repurposing found objects, smashing things up. One of his party dress embroideries was inspired by the shattered screen of a cell phone—his comment on social media. “It’s like this gesture of throwing your phone away,” he said. McGirr is not on Instagram; maybe a bellwether of a generation that’s rebelling in its own way.
