Alexander McQueen | Men's Autumn/Winter 2013 | Runway Show

http://www.alexandermcqueen.com - Alexander McQueen's 2013 Men's Autumn Winter Collection Alexander McQueen's menswear collection for Autumn/Winter 2013/14 takes the classicism of Savile Row and subverts it. A pinstripe three-piece suit has a signature McQueen pagoda shoulder, with a longer jacket to create a new lengthened silhouette. These are matched with low-rise pinstripe trousers that are cropped with a slight kick flare. A cigar shoulder gives an alternate nipped-in jacket shape. White cotton shirts come with pinstriped collars and cuffs, a motif that is repeated with other fabrics from the collection, all of the shirts coming with a longer collar and barbed wire cufflinks. As the collection evolves, single-breasted suits are patchworked from panels of pinstripe and some suits are cut from a cloth specially woven to look like patchwork. A softer shape comes from a kimono-shouldered camel coat, worn over a camel suit with articulated S-cut trousers. Military dress is an important part of Savile Row's history. This ceremonial heritage is represented in red and black paneled frock coats with military buttoning above the waist. Meanwhile a detail of a blown up stained glass church window is used as an all-over suit print, an image which also appears on a long silk dressing-gown. Silk polka dot dressing gowns are worn with velvet tailoring, ushering in the eveningwear section. Velvet tuxedos are cut with a pagoda shoulder, and also come constructed from patchwork panels.
