McQueen S/S 2026 Paris

[blackpink]

He's trying to achieve the McQueen brand vision. He's trying, but maybe a little more boldness on his part could make the collection more interesting.

He's trying, but maybe a little more boldness on his part could make the collection more interesting.

I'm not sure if it's boldness McGirr would need to make his take on McQueen convincing. I guess it's more about the lack of his own personal experience being expressed, and I don't see him letting himself do that.

a little more boldness

He just doesn't know how to properly construct a mcqueen silhouette. Alll of them are proportioned like they are about to be sold at primark. He needs to sit down with Burton and learn how a simple dress can look Mcqueen without all the bells and whistles.

Honey we're starved ... let us eat something in peace. 😭😂

Looking at his debut collection, boldness is definitely not something that he is lacking.

The first McGirr collection I actually like!
Even though half of it feels very Christophe Decarnin Balmain (maybe it’s the styling).
But, there’s an early 2000s touch that brings a sense of nostalgia.
Guess he finally cracked the code this season.

 

[Alquimista]

Finally he absolved McQueen instead of just cheking referential boxes. He's getting it.

But I don't like the show. It was boring. These clothes deserved a better set, music and models with atitude, doing poses.

 

[Yohji]

I like it! It’s sharp and cool.

And *whispers* I was never the biggest Sarah Burton fan outside of menswear. Weirdly I like her Givenchy more.

The corsetry looked like early 2000's Dolce at certain points.
Honestly not even sure that is a compliment at this point. I didn't feel much heart in this, for some reason, though McQueen codes were clearly represented more over than not. Music was a bit torturous, @PierreGotha; but also, poignant at some of those tougher and more desctructive looks.

I could've done without the shield shades.
Loved the finale looks.
The white was better than they yellow.

 

[brandon J pierre]

Much better but what's the story ?

 

[Olaffo]

This is another brand who’s completely ditching out menswear in their, supposedly, co-ed show. Wtf ? Best collection so far but still just irreparably „McQueenesque” merch…

I think he's smart for taking a different route than Sarah Burton. She was a phenomenal tailor but got none of McQueen's sexiness. Now McGirr has bumsters back on the runway, which wouldn't really have been imaginable under Burton. I'm ok with it.
