Alexander McQueen Alexander McQueen 2017 Early Autumn Women's Collection

The early autumn 2017 women's collection was inspired by the work of British sculpture artist Barbara Hepworth. Classic knit dresses are lined with soft, silky, silk or chenille knitwear. One side of the suit has an overhanging cut to bring out asymmetrical beauty. The collection's elegant, elegant silhouette reminds us of the heroines of the medieval Arthurian legends Isolde, Guinevere and The Lady of the Lake.

From the early autumn 2017 women's collection, it can be seen that the soft, thin silk dress is in stark contrast to the leather eyelet with a gold eyelet.

Wide leg Pants with curved pleats on one side of the pointed shoulder jacket to bring out the details of asymmetrical folds.

Soft and slim tailoring cuts through the entire collection. The garments follow the curves of the body, but there is no sense of restraint, as if it were a supple armor. Neutral-tone classic knit dresses are lined with soft, silky threads and adorned with gold eyelets and non-fitting leather bodice.
