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.

As the brand is familiar with the buzz their platform is capable of creating, Extra Butter planned to use that to leverage the cause. In exchange for school supply donations, they entered participants into a raffle, in which 100 pairs of the exclusive adidas x Bad Bunny Forum Buckle Low sneakers were given away. The design is modeled after sneakers often included in school uniforms, which Bad Bunny sported in nostalgic past years in his home country of Puerto Rico. The sleek shoes are made of leather and suede and accented with chunky buckles and a double-layered tongue.

Although the sweepstakes ended on August 16th, 100% of the proceeds from this collaboration will additionally be donated to the Hour Children Foundation. The shoes are now available across the U.S. through www.extrabutter.com and in stores, and you can still donate directly to Hour Children Foundation’s GoFundMe.
