Alexander McQueen SS21 Menswear | Wonderland Magazine
You might remember the women of Alexander McQueen taking a coastside jaunt in the brand’s latest, renewable wears last month. Now it seems the boys have come along for the ride, too. Taking to those same chalky white cliffs, Sarah Burton has turned studio offcuts and stock fabric into a whole collection of menswear magic, reworking the old and surplus into the new and effortlessly chic.
Anticipating the cold months ahead for the house’s SS21 menswear collection, Burton immediately launches into a series of deconstructed trench coats, fusing sleek camel with warm, grey plaid. They’re nipped ever-so-slightly at the waist, or left to cascade past the knee as any attention-commanding duster should. The jacket frenzy continues with sleek bombers adorned with asymmetric pockets or patches of pearl embellishment, leather jackets dip-dyed in rosy pinks and fiery magentas, and ultimately reaches a climax in one particularly fetching half-tux, half-pocketed dress moment.
