And even though we did not even have enough time to enjoy the ravishing items from the fall/winter collection, the McQueen house already makes us imagine our wardrobe for the spring to come. After all, why not live through the cold mornings daydreaming about the sunny ones?

Alexander McQueen’s spring/summer 2014 preview can be admired on the official website, where you can also find a detailed description created for the press and many, many photos. Curious?

The collection is clean – reduced, light and crafted in humble fabrics. A reaction to the extreme ornamentation of preceding seasons, it represents youth, vibrancy and a very physical being, innocence more than experience. The silhouette is waisted and predominantly very short. Jackets and dresses have apron necklines, split or cutaway backs and curved, moulded sleeves. Trousers are cropped above the ankle and kick from the knee. Masculine white shirting and boilersuits both feature. The exaggerated, signature McQueen line is achieved using oversized, three-dimensional, pleated patch pockets and layered hems. Silver buckled double belting references the heritage bumster trouser. The structural complexity and dense surface embellishment the house is known for is all present and correct but discreet: apparently simplified, raw edged and graphic in places.

Cotton jacquard, cotton drill, cotton crochet knit, broderie anglaise. Canvas. Suede. Patchworked denim, from stonewashed to faded to raw.

White: optic, cream, ivory, bone. Powder pink and blue. Dark sand. Shades of indigo and accents of spring meadow flowers.

A mid-height block- or platform-heeled sandal in neutral suede or python is finished with studded silver metal panels.
