Alexander McQueen S/S 2015
The opulent surrounds of the Royal College of Surgeons of England suggested we were in for another regal, gothic affair from Sarah Burton's Alexander McQueen man. Of late he has been robed and kilted, basking in a dark London punk spirit, however S/S 2015 cleansed the palette somewhat with a sports-inflected collection pivoting above wide shorts and leggings. Whether painted, heat-pressed or bugle-beaded, the top-heavy silhouette was adorned with a potent jigsaw of red, white, electric blue and mustard swirls washed across suits, sweaters and cocooning coats. These spacious pieces found their slimline balance in the welcome deconstruction of a panelled, Prince of Wales coat and a passage of blazers belted across the torso - their lapels and hemlines punctuated with slices of blood red exposed lining.
