Seán McGirr - Designer, Creative Director of Alexander McQueen

[99 Percent Polyester]

It’s probably to appeal to the Gen Z market Kering appears to be courting with the brand now — maybe they’re hoping they’ll think it’s someone they’re more familiar with…

I hate this would work on me 😭 I’d unironically be interested in a Disney collab with a t-shirt that had the MCQUEEN logo above a picture of Mr. Lightning McQueen.

I mean Burton’s McQueen may have been boring for some, but at least there are always noise. Now the brand is so quiet I thought its dead already

Sean McGirr's first interview for Vogue:

Cringe at all the full-look advertorial photos. They have twice/ three times the photos as the Chloe Chemena feature from 2 months ago

I don't love what he's doing, but Pinault made the right choice. He's almost ideal for Mcqueen.

And the latest collection is infinitely better than the debut.

Glad is dealing well with the internet noise.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

"... far too much of the Instagram commentary veered into cyberbullying cloaked in the guise of fashion criticism. In the ’90s, Lee McQueen was known to place gilded skeletons amid the press seats at his shows as a reminder of his disdain for their occasional reproaches; one wonders how he might have responded to a 290-part thread weighing in on his draping skills, as McGirr had to endure."

Is the journalist referencing TFS thread McQueen FW24 -25?
It has 291 posts...

I enjoyed the article, although with the same amount of time I could have read Henry James' complete works, but Sean comes through as a very lovable person.

He worked for Uniqlo at Tokyo and Paris, and also for Dries, before moving back to London.
He loves Carl G. Jung, men, London's energy and Francis Bacon.
He thinks Sarah Burton's work was bland and he wants to bring McQueen to the new generation.

The looks that closed his debut collection were one of the most hideous things ever, but at least he provoked some kind of visceral reaction, and to me that is always better than the parades of nothingness that other brands offer.

The improvement in his second collection is clear, so I am looking forward to see what he proposes.
