SS23

Last night, the designer traded Paris for London for the first time, taking over the mammoth Printworks club in what felt like a celebration of Britain’s nightlife heyday.

There was much to enjoy at Alexander McQueen SS23, where the work of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch collided with the return of the brand’s signature hip-slippers.

Get involved in flip-flops, ultra-tailoring, femme frills, nude layers and dirty denim next spring. Wardrobe: sorted.

It’s the final pit stop, starring: Vaquera, Saint Laurent, Acne Studios, Balmain, Schiaparelli, Rick Owens, Off-White, Loewe, Coperni, Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, Ottolinger, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Valentino, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu.

It seems we’ve got a thing for sci-fi beyond the big screen. This season, the likes of Gucci, KNWLS and Vaquera opted for futuristic, iridescent make-up that felt worlds apart.

We caught up with the designer on his SS23 collection, the modern man, and how he wants his frilly bomber jackets to be worn to Arsenal games, the pub and beyond.
