Alexander McQueen

Creative director Seán McGirr intuitively understands Alexander McQueen’s vision, imparting the late designer’s unbridled creativity through the label’s current offerings. Under McGirr's direction, the house of Alexander McQueen produces critically acclaimed collections that combine time-honored craftsmanship with an innovative, future-forward outlook. A profound respect for nature and an understanding of British history are key considerations of the house, guiding everything from the label’s geographically specific set pieces to its impeccably crafted ready-to-wear. The brand’s unmistakable trademarks are laid bare across its varied lines, while esoteric reference points sustain an intangible allure. Building on a legacy that eludes classification, the McQueen label thrives on the juxtaposition between contrasting elements—fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, fluidity and severity—making it a staple of modern British couture.
