Alexander McQueen Unveils 2024 Autumn/Winter Collection Under New Creative Director Seán McGirr
After the resignation of longtime creative director Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen made a statement at Paris Fashion Week with the debut of its 2024 autumn and winter collection under new creative director Seán McGirr. This season marks McGirr’s first collection for the iconic fashion house, and he did not disappoint.
Drawing inspiration from his professional experience and the whimsical design language of Jonathan Anderson, McGirr paid homage to the brand’s history while infusing a sense of playfulness and lightness. The collection, titled “The Birds,” harked back to Alexander McQueen’s 1995 spring and summer series, adding a touch of brand-specific style to the pieces.
The collection featured a range of items including blazers, coats, knitwear, dresses, hoodies, tops, skirts, jeans, suit pants, and bag accessories. The standout piece was a black knitted top with an exaggerated shape and extended sleeves, showcasing the avant-garde fashion aesthetic that the brand is known for.
In an interview with Vogue, McGirr explained that he aimed to “reveal the inner animal” with this collection, creating a slightly playfully aggressive and uplifting vibe. The gallery displaying the new collection has already grabbed the attention of fashion enthusiasts, and the pieces are sure to be a hit on the runway and beyond.
With Seán McGirr at the helm, Alexander McQueen continues to push boundaries and redefine high fashion, solidifying its status as a powerhouse in the industry. Fans and critics alike are eagerly awaiting what the future holds for the brand under his creative direction.
