Alexander McQueen

Seán McGirr's sophomore collection for Alexander McQueen, shown at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, drew on the Irish banshee myth and the house's archival AW94 'Banshee' show, featuring dark-romantic tailoring, cobweb lace, and a finale dress of shimmering silver chains. Tom Scutt's set - a monolithic gateway opening onto a steel-plated path of crushed replica Beaux-Arts tiles - underscored the collection's tension between classicism and raw, spectral energy.
