Show Report

SARAH BURTON brought back English rock on the catwalk of Alexander McQueen today. This, her third collection for the brand - following the death of its eponymous creator in 2010 - was all about cool rockers in humbug stripes (they started out in black and white and later wandered into coral and crimson territory), loose-fitting trousers and jackets of varsity styles or skinny lapel proportions – perfect for Burton’s Sixties-Seventies front man.

It was a loosening up from the military references that prevailed last season – in both colour and silhouette. Marigold yellows slipped into stripes on trousers while monochromatic tablecloth checks looked bright and fresh against yet more stripes. Jackets took on a ring master’s appeal but worn with that cheeky McQueen charm were the epitome of London rock ‘n’ roll.
