The designer made his house debut by going way back—to one of Alexander “Lee” McQueen's first collections.
Fourteen years ago, when Alexander McQueen’s new creative director Seán McGirr was applying to fashion school, Alexander “Lee” McQueen’s final spring 2010 collection made a big impression on the Irish designer’s decision to study at McQueen’s alma mater, Central Saint Martins.
For his debut, McGirr looked back further to one of McQueen’s earliest shoestring-budget London shows, “The Birds” spring 1995, which highlighted streamlined looks adorned with feathers and bird prints on a runway demarcated only by a painted road line. In doing so, McGirr reminded us that before the British brand came to represent the height of Paris Fashion Week splendor, it offered a more DIY take on opulence.
The Birds was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 thriller of the same name, with car chases and roadkill serving as additional reference points for McQueen’s darkly romantic vision. McGirr added John Chamberlain’s crushed car sculptures and pictures of his own cracked iPhone screen to his fall 2024 mood board, which translated as automobile-shaped dresses in acid yellow, black, and blue steel.
