RUNWAY: Alexander McQueen SS19

Long time readers might be aware that we've not always been the biggest fans of Sarah Burton's McQueen, especially at the beginning. That being said, Burton's last few collections for Alexander McQueen have been knockouts, they've been the perfect blend of stunning tailoring, macabre allure, and beauty, hitting notes on the brand's heritage but adding her own individualism to it. This SS19 collection is yet another winning one that blends sartorial excellence with raw beauty and a sinister-like allure. Briefly speaking of raw, the strands of metallic fabric that started on a coat and draped across the body to dangle as the model walked was so fabulous and simple a thought. There were also the elegantly and opulently embroidered coats - who cares if they're too heavy for a "warm" English day? - or the tight moto jackets and the austere and tailored suiting? Magnificent.
