The Luxury Handbags guide to Alexander McQueen

McQueen rewards a wardrobe built around tailoring. Start with a single breasted jacket, the house cuts them with a high peak shoulder and a nipped waist that reads formal at work and defiant after dark. Cigarette and bootcut trousers finish the line, and the bumster waist, the cut Lee McQueen made famous in the nineties, returns each season for the confident. For evening, the house runs from silk skull prints to corseted pencil and gown silhouettes. Knits and skirts carry the same discipline in a quieter register.
