McQueen F/W 2026.27 Paris

Upon checking instagram i came across some of the people burton worked with in mcqueen. 2 of them are Robert curry and simon ungless. Seeing their works just bring back the feelings i got from mcqueen and burton's mcqueen. Wonder why they are not considered

Ungless has been a teacher for many years and only went back full time as a designer 3 years ago, and a textile designer at that. Talented bloke, but if I was calling the shots, I'm not sure I'd want him heading up a house - give him a job as a printmaker and pattern designer, sure.

It's not good - but there's something about it that actually feels like his most McQueen collection yet.

The doll wigs, the looks on Alex, Jacqui, Libby, the skull scarf look and the tuxedo look. Those kind of work for me in a strange way in that they remind me of McQueen's Gucci Group transitional period. Something about the carpeting of the set, the soft, beigey and pastel coloring, the commercial approach really gives me feelings of like Fall 2004, Spring and Fall 2005, Spring 2006. It even reminds me of what his stores used to look like when they all first opened.

Anyway. It's think it's more appropriate for the brand to explore that direction at this point than to chase the early renegade look of Lee's earlier work.

Not sure the brand would be able to stay afloat. Jot that it’s bad, just… not relevant for mainstream, but not niece to have cult following
