Alexander McQueen SS15

Drawing from a personal and treasured collection of antique kimonos, Sarah Burton delivered a stunning line-up of East meets West modernism. Inspired by the opposing elements of the fragile geisha and the strength of the samurai in Japanese culture, McQueen delivered an inimitably powerful yet graceful aesthetic.

Amid a backdrop dominated by artist Marc Quinn’s bronze orchids, we love the careful balance between the cherry blossom motif, hand-cut floral ruffles and painted petals with the precision that showcases the expert craftsmanship of the house.
