A day after being a former creative director for 13 years, Sarah Barton unveiled the debut collection of Givenchy’s Alexander McQueen. Currently, Cean McGill is at the top of the creative food chain, hosting the F/W 25 Runway Show during Paris Fashion Week at Gallery DeGerlogre A Gree Eto Demineralology. Arish Designer, hired in October 2023 after a stint as head of ready-made clothing at JW Anderson, appears to be hitting his path, debuting what HFTWT calls his best collection. This fall product, an even higher height and continuation of development in his S/S 25 collection, featured the same focus on tailoring, mixed with a sense of luxury, risk and luxury that McQueen felt was suitable for the home he built.
There were a total of six black trim suits and coats, everything fit perfectly and carved in every proper place. The Victorian ruffled sleeves and Peak Abu’s black lace have been added to the drama of modest separation, as well as the sharply pointed lace-up boots. The stars in the collection included silk and curling toppers made to look like wings, and beautifully constructed corsets that hit the collar of the long ago era.

Dandyism of play
“For me, dandyism is the ultimate act of decoration. McGirr wrote in a press release. “It raises the issues of personality and identity, idealism, and gender. I wanted to explore the lasting connections of the radical dandy spirit in our modern world.” According to the release, McGirr’s F/W 25’s original inspiration came from Victorian dandies such as Oscar Wilde, Vesta Tilley, and Romaine Brooks. Night walkLondon characters stroll the streets at night. “It made me think about this idea of Franur, he’s a very confident person and knows himself really, really well. Trendy. These starting points ultimately led to the exquisite wool tailoring found throughout the collection, while simultaneously modernizing and more intimate and luxurious touches like thin lace and liquid silk that reminded me of another time.

Dark vs. light
“London, at night,” reads the press release. This explains that the show starts with an ensemble of 13 total, not just black in colours but dark in energy. After all, darkness and emotions are McQueen’s way of doing it, so it’s no surprise to see a decorative sense of darkness reaching McGill’s offering for the season. Using blood red for the lax, flowing dress and rich jacid in a sharply tailored suit felt equally suitable for the home. It was the lightness of the other looks. Silk Corset Mini Dress with a translucent silk georgette gown in lilac, lace rough and cream, a huge silk organza and a natural shirring bolero – providing soft and ethereal energy to the collection, thus creating the perfect balance.

Victorian details
From knitted boots with exaggerated pointed toe, to rough collars, lace bell sleeves, to the overall venue, everything about the F/W 25 show and collection was tied up in Victorian London. The show space, part of the French National Museum of Natural History, was conceptualized by British Tony Award-winning artist Tom Coott. The entire story features Victorian architecture, with the setting of the gifted clothing inside. The gem, according to the release, contained “motifs inspired by Victorian naturalism and Oscar Wilde,” but the shoulders and collars of the garments were designed with practices used in the times.
