Sarah Burton never fails to disappoint, for Alexander McQueen’s Fall’18 menswear collection, she took inspiration from her hometown; representing Britain’s most iconic male faces.

 

The designer merged an eclectic collage of photographs by Perry Ogden’s Irish pony kids, some of the East End boys and mental references from the avant-garde novelist, Samuel Beckett. And of course, who else but the greatest of them all, the founder Lee Alexander McQueen, who was remembered through thick camel coats and shearling jackets.

 

The whole collection was conveyed into a contemporary mix of classics, translated through a display of pinstriped suits and deconstructed outerwear sweater pieces. Plus, suit jackets were tucked-in at the waist with wide shoulders. Super slim trench coats were tied around the waist like skirts, and some others like bomber jackets, pea coats and an oversized leather duffle featured two zippers creating a unique layering illusion.

 

Burton sent out plenty of the label’s signature designs: a classic tailored top coat in black, matched with a light fringed silk scarf and white sneakers and patchwork silk long-coat embellished with beads.

 

The show was similar to Burton’s previous shows displayed in Milan, but minus the dark overtones. This year the result was rich, attractively versatile and very much McQueen.
