In their words…
Never-before-seen close-ups demonstrate the couture-level craftsmanship of the collection. The film captures the runway looks in motion and shows the details of signature McQueen prints, elaborate embellishments and the season’s soft colour palette – white, ivory, gold, lilac, blush and coral.
