Alexander McQueen BLAZERTesting

Keeping in line with the unfaltering vision of its late namesake, the Sarah Burton-helmed incarnation of the Alexander McQueen label furthers a diaristic approach to design that is both impenetrable and alluring. Preserving the element of spectacle that is a mainstay of the label’s modus operandi, McQueen weaves British history into its designs, translating temporal and geographic specificity into stately womenswear. Regal accents strike a balance against delicate reinterpretations of the label’s recognizable morbid signifiers. In spite of shouldering the inherent tragedy embedded in the legacy that it is carrying on, the House honors McQueen’s unbridled romanticism through collections that evoke the beauty of the natural world. Coalescing a deep-seated knowledge of bespoke British tailoring with a fervid dedication to innovation, the Alexander McQueen label under Sarah Burton’s direction has become a mainstay of modern English couture that continues to foster emotionally rousing results.
