Alexander McQueen

As the British house returns to New York City after 22 years, Sarah Burton finds a common thread in the spiritual properties of mycelium and the world coming together again for AW22.

Recently, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons and Rick Owens have shown strength, courage and resistance in the face of war and destruction.

The foundation, set up by late designer Lee Alexander McQueen, hosted a Dream with Sarabande dinner at The Standard on Tuesday.

Partnering with A Team Arts Education, the initiative will work with young people based in the East End of London keen to work in the creative industries.
