Alexander McQueen | Men's Autumn/Winter 2016 | Runway Show

www.alexandermc... - The Alexander McQueen Menswear 2016 Autumn/Winter Collection
Charles Darwin in 1859 gave us a theory of evolution, the science of natural selection, an argument for the ‘survival of the fittest’, and a story of how man triumphs. He was an avid explorer in his youth, travelling the world for field study, discovering and collecting specimens, making a Victorian enquiry into who we are. For AW16, the collection embraces the spirit of travel and a world newly open to exploration and the gathering of collectibles, but in the way of the McQueen tradition of flora, fauna and memento mori. This is a collection obsessed with the elegance that ‘survives’ the struggle for life.
The collection is inspired by traditional British tailoring to give a wardrobe of classically elegant pieces. Cashmere, camel, chevron wool, morning stripe are trimmed with velvet or embroidered. A great coat is made from a floral tapestry based on oil paintings; the same print is applied on silk to produce a single breasted 2 button suit and trenchcoat. Silk twill shirts in a fitted or oversized silhouette are printed in Darwinian style renderings or drawings of fossil figures or snake specimens. Classic Argyll and Fairisle knitwear are distressed. Butterflies are a key design feature of the collection - there are specimen drawings of them woven as a jacquard and worn as a full suit or swarms of butterflies embroidered on a flannel Crombie or camel hair knitted jumper. Moths embroidered on a boiled pinstriped wool suit are shrouded in tulle. Military references feature prominently in the collection, from silver buttons to epaulettes embroidered with brass butterflies. Ceremonial jackets come in a paisley soutage or are decorated in jet beading. Floral printed velvet suits are encrusted with diamanté and jet beading and metal sequins in a paisley pattern creeps down a tailored jacket and coat. Trousers come fitted with a flare or tapered and cropped at the ankle and trimmed with velvet ribbon or satin.
Camel hair, morning stripe, pinstripe, herringbone, flannel, felt, cotton gabardine, cavalry twill, silk, cashmere, mohair, leather, wool and silk jacquard.
Camel, pewter, black, ivory, ceremonial red.
Work boots with exposed metallic toe, leather and suede gym shoes with braiding.
Silver chain harness with crosses and river pearls. An assortment of antique and heirloom rings with coloured jewel stones. Pearl or tooth lapel pins and earrings. Chain chokers with a cross pendant. A collection of charms and metallic talismans worn as brooches and badges.

Stunning! loved the jewelry as part of the clothing, the silhouettes and trousers, btw, notice how each model walk in a very different and specific way, by far... Sarah Burton's best collection! I can sense McQueen in the styling, the show, the feeling Bravooo!

[@eliseifferth9610]

chopin

[@nestergonzalez9367]

Not Alexander McQueen, but this collection is probably the best one that Sarah Burton has put out sense she came to the Alexander McQueen name, so it was ok... But then again most of the pieces I feel I have seen before in other designers collections and I feel that the models faces and accessories had more going on than the actual clothing did as far as uniqueness goes.

[@MC-kl5mp]

Name one.

[@jch8864]

[@GabrielEGiron-wx9lr]

Exquisite!

[@CKIndyJack]

I've always wanted to like McQueen's menswear items, but they looked so unwearable and just ugly, but these were so good. Not a fan of the bright red ones, but the butterfly suits and metallic looks were amazing. And their accessories were so cool. I love the Tim Burton aesthetic to this.

[@Lita77260]
