Alexander McQueen’s Menswear 07’ Spring Review
McQueen’s third spring menswear collection, showcased in the courtyard of the Museo Della Scienza in Milan, personifies romanticism while grasping a new take on minimalistic suiting. The show was entitled “Harlem”, a name that in McQueen’s mind, not only referenced the city in Manhattan New York, but also an anagram of the famous composer behind the acclaimed Fifth Symphony, Gustav Mahler. In 2004, showcasing his first menswear collection, this marked McQueen’s 3rd Spring/Summer Menswear show. This collection is more relaxed and subtle than his two previous SS showcases involving more extravagance and dramatic storytelling. While McQueen remained true to his romantic and classical style, the looks comprised a well-balanced mixture of smart casual and formalwear.
