THE LAST COLLECTION OF ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: HEADING TO THE GOOD TRACK WITH RESORT 2025

Resort collections are mostly used to present the vision of the creative director of the brand in a more diluted way, with an emphasis in making staples with elements that create a unique visual world for the customer’s wardrobe. In the case of Sean McGirr, it serves as a rendition for the reception of his debut. With this collection, he is making sure that the heritage of the brand does not get lost by utilizing a darker color palette and silhouettes that remind us of Sarah Burton’s work. In addition to it, he is trying to set his own pace with a mix of textures and proportions that can lead the brand to create outstanding styling moments with celebrities.

Across 31 looks, the Irish fashion designer is presenting an aristocratic punk house party in Hatfield, a prime example of Jacobean architecture right outside London. In the walls of this country house, we can see how street elements fused with more elevated details, particularly in the choice of some fabrics. Also, distorted proportions are being presented in collars and waists of different garments pushing the idea of edginess through the way young people perceive themselves. McGirr affirmed that the starting point of the collection was English school uniforms and how he can manipulate this well-known idea into a personal one, throughout an engaging storytelling. 

In a scenery as rich as the estate once owned by Queen Elizabeth, girls and boys are wearing details of Velazquez’s portrait of the Pope Innocent X in drapery and rhinestones. Encouraging people to wear art and trying to think of their outfit as a performance and a form of personal expression. Likewise, he is also implanting in the brand the term unisex which was never used before and he is approaching a new type of masculinity. Girls (and boys) just want to have fun as Cyndi Lauper said, so let’s enjoy summer and let your future self decide on what to buy, be more irrational, be more spontaneous. Sean McGirr brought to the table a nice and familiar theme, but now we still wish for more brutality and rawness in the concept. Let’s see what the new McQueen has in store for us in the September presentation.
