Seán McGirr - Designer, Creative Director of Alexander McQueen

[andrew]

I walked by an Alexander McQueen boutique today and the two sa's were inside chatting together and scrolling on their phones not a single customer or even window shopper in sight. It was also the only store without a security guard, if not even the criminals want McQueen who does?

I'm sorry but every time I see an update on this thread I am immediately think of a WWD IG post stating he's been kicked out by De Meo LOL

You know they can’t afford it 🤣
That should be the running theme for a lot of things with Kering nowadays.

He comes across as a nice guy if nothing else...like an eager puppy, or a big kid in a candy shop. Though I did have to laugh at him asking Loic Prigent if he knew about The Wicker Man.

"So snatched". "So f*cked up".

Bless his heart.

He is thanking God that his former boss, JW, is flopping so hard at Dior that no one has the time to bring out torches and rotten tomatoes or eggs for him now. He is so unqualified for the job, and this clearly shows. Mixing past collections like what Miuccia Prada is doing is cringe. This isn't design! Why not hire an AI?

the main thing about him is that he doesnt have the tailoring skills to back up his designs. It's very important in mcqueen, his looks can be everything but the kitchen sink but all tailored and edited so beautifully. new mcquueen guy just doesnt have it, everything looks cheap and craftmanship at the level of h&m. He is improving but way to slow

Dillara or Matières Fecales wouldn't come up with the idea of the paganism of The Wicker Man as a thread for the collection, they are more literal.

I enjoyed the video, the craftmanship and the atelier look on point, and I admit to have a soft spot for Sean.
His two last collections were good and I am here for him till this house crumbles, which will probably be soon.
I only hope it is amongst flames in a giant bonfire to honor the memory of Alexander McQueen.

Another case of a designer who is not bad and probably makes a good studio team member or an assistant, but doesn't have the vision and talent necessary to be a creative director. Good for him. Enjoy the paycheck and other privileges that come with the job. Such opportunity will probably never happen again.

Love seeing the atelier and behind the scenes but Sean's vision is very superficial and basic. This was his best collection though.
