Alexander McQueen | Menswear Spring/Summer 2019

Inspiration...
The spirit and emotion of the mid-Twentieth Century British artist. Francis Bacon. John Deakin. Soho. The artist vulnerable yet powerful. Hybrids: classic clothing taken apart at the seams, turned on its head. The maverick male in heritage McQueen. Cut, pieced and patched trench coats, hunting jackets, pinstripes, knits, shirting and military clothing realised with the power and immediacy of a broad-brush stroke. Strength of character, individuality and creativity.
Collection...
Tailoring forms the backbone to this collection. The silhouette is precise. Jackets are fitted with a square shoulder and a narrow waist, empowering and empowered. Trompe l’oeil coats in pinstripe suiting are worn with gabardine trenches slashed to the elbow and lined with painters pink satin. Bonded plongé leather rain coats in colbalt blue and painters pink are raw cut. Cigarette pants are cropped at the ankle. Shirts are worn with slashed cuffs. Traditional menswear is deconstructed, panelled with opposing garments and fabrics. Trench cotton is bonded with cavalry twill, wool silk coats layered over trompe l’oeil jackets. Plongé leather and organza layered cotton gabardine overalls are belted and undone to the waist. Exploded paint palette jacquard knits with hanging threads are worn with leather motocross trousers, finished with nickel zips. Perfecto grainy leather jackets and biker trousers are hand-painted. Hybrid jackets in ivory wool silk and lust red are first slashed then pieced with black wool silk military coats. Trousers are striped with lust red and optic white. Hand-painting and embroidery is abstract with bold embroidered brushstrokes. Cotton silk jacquards draw on the artist’s studio and the work of John Deakin, as do more embroideries, this time in muted silver gunmetal: “Graffiti”, “Graffiti Faces”, “You Are All Nice”.

Too bad A.M. menswear doesn’t sell well enough to supply a secondary market because this collection was highly covetable.

[@nathand.384]

You sound new to haut couture...

[@chunkylefunga]

Those men are far too thin, I thought we were supposed to be pushing for normal sized models, not clearly anorexic ones.

[@cristian1ach]

It’s nice to see, I guess, that the anorexic model is alive and well for men as well as women. Equality and all that. Take a look,at the men in the front row of this show. None of them can even think of wearing these clothes without looking ridiculous. So, I liked a lot of this stuff, in a fantasy in your dreams kind of way, but I can’t imagine most of the males I know being able to even consider this stuff. And why is it that the higher up a model gets, the more it is expected that they project an attitude of boredom, or “I couldn’t care less about these clothes they make me wear, I hate my job”or “I’m really mean and I hate the world”. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to see a show where models looked like they were having fun?

[@JP-it4yt]

Barbara Casement i think the thing about the models is to keep the focus on the clothing and not on their expressions, because everyone has a really different smile but their faces show similiar features

[@kingghost2605]

You're right about the models, but you're wrong about the clothes. I wear honestly wear every one of their pieces, they look so cool!

[@haiderramosguerra3176]

I'm really skinny like those guys and I'm not anorexic. I eat like a pig 😂😂

[@Consrignrant]

@barbaracasement1021 They're not anorexic, they're thin and healthy. You imbecile. The line is successful. People of all types buy it. Whether the men "in the front row" or your trashy friends wear the clothes or not is irrelevant. Comments like yours come from people who think fat is normal. As far as attitude is concerned, it the 21 century not the 70's. "Having fun" would be ridiculous . You just stick to your fashion shows from Walmart. You just stick to your 10 dollar skinny jeans, sneaker socks and white Nikes. Moron.
