MENS SPRING / SUMMER 09

“LOVE YOU”

Anatomical precision is the story here and a rather more assertively masculine vision of the modern male than the ultra-slender catwalk stereotype although sheer georgette or heavily sequined tops and embroideries go to prove that even this season a more feminine side is never far from McQueen’s thoughts. Two- or three-buttoned jackets accentuate the shoulder and tailor the waist, slim arms come in jersey. Trompe l’oeil effects also make an appearance – collars that disappear into the body of the garment, sheer strips of gauze make clothing seem almost to float on its wearer and shading evokes an exaggeratedly three-dimensional appearance. Finally, a smoke print is a witty play on that time-honoured men’s wear staple, the tuxedo.
