Suspended skirting glints with precious balls of light. Molten metallic silver catches the eye. And sequin embroidery and embellished iris embroidery don’t for a second look out of place amongst sun-crisped long grass. Introducing the new Autumn/ Winter 2020 pre-collection from Alexander McQueen, with the iconic house’s far-reaching inspirations immediately obvious at a single glance.

From the elegance of British art nouveau, to stark windswept North landscapes, and even metal ores hidden under the surface of the earth (think gold, silver and copper) – all these complimentary and contrasting threads are woven together to make for a textured, and heartbreakingly romantic collection. Prepare to fall in love.
