Alexander McQueen SS25

September 30, 2024

The Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2025 show, held in Paris, was a powerful blend of sharp tailoring, ethereal fabrics, and folklore. Under the creative direction of Seán McGirr, the collection took inspiration from the banshee—a haunting figure in Irish mythology—and transformed it into a symbol of feminine strength and resilience.

Twisted British suiting formed the backbone of the collection, with wool mohair and gabardine tailored into angular silhouettes. Ethereal silk chiffon and intricate cobweb lace contrasted the sharpness, giving the collection a haunting, ghost-like quality. The color palette was predominantly ivory, grey, and black, with fiery accents of yellow and orange.

The show space, designed by Tom Scutt, echoed the collection’s themes of tension and duality, blending classicism with modernity. Accessories, from sculptural boots to jewelry inspired by the banshee’s lore, reinforced the mythical narrative.

Alexander McQueen Women's SS/22

"I love the idea of the McQueen woman being a storm chaser, of the qualities of storm chasing uniting the passionately individual community of characters wearing the clothes. They inhabit the same universe and the clothes are inspired by and made for them," Creative Director, Sarah Burton says." Storm chasing is not only about the beauty of the views but also a sense of mystery and excitement 一 about embracing the fact that we can’t ever be sure of what might happen next. To give up control and be directly in touch with the unpredictable is to be part of nature, to see and feel it at its most intense 一 to be at one with a world that is bigger and more powerful than we are.”

7 Days Active Explores the Duality of Cycling

Singh and Ørholm have vastly different approaches to the sport, and their team members reflect that. Nelson Vails, winner of the 1984 LA Olympics and first African-American to medal in cycling, has joined Singh’s team. While Rasmus Lund, silver medalist in Tokyo 2020, has joined forces with Ørholm for his Argon 18 team.

The two cyclists, both notable pros, face each other with mutual respect while modeling the collection. Both are filmed in settings that showcase their riding style: Vails racing through his native New York streets, while Lund flies down a track.

This collection highlights speed and aerodynamics, with ergonomic designs and materials that only add to the riding experience. The new Nitrogen Disc frame is most notable, offering a confident ride without the cyclist sacrificing speed or mobility. This capsule collection is meant for every cyclist, the long hauler who rides through the mountains, and the daring sprinter riding through the city. Thanks to its versatile geometry, this collection is as multifaceted as the cyclists who wear it, a subtle nod to the long and winding history of the sport.
