British Realism and a romantic interpretation of traveller subculture inspire Alexander McQueen’s Resort collection this season. Chelsea boots, high heels and sandals with heavy-tread soles are decorated with trinkets and hammered metal studs. The woman at the centre of this world is a collector, transforming garments borrowed or passed down from her family – heirlooms, her mother’s dress, her father’s coat– or gathered from decorative home interiors. The stunning collection is inspired by bold vintage wallpaper and tablecloth prints to picnic blankets and caravan décor.
