If you ask us, it’s innovation and interaction that defines a leading fashion brand, and Alexander McQueen has consistently demonstrated plenty of both. Coinciding with the arrival of the luxury brand’s A/W 2022 Collection in its flagship store on Old Bond Street in London, a special exhibition has been inaugurated today on the premises. Entitled Process, the show aims to illustrate that creativity emerges from countless perspectives, so Alexander McQueen‘s creative director Sarah Burton has invited twelve artists to express their individual working practices inspired by the brand’s A/W 2022 Women’s Pre-collection. Each artist has chosen a look from the collection and responded to it through their preferred medium, engaging in a creative dialogue with the house. All have been given complete creative freedom resulting in a rich conversation between their work and the selected looks. The artworks are conceived to be displayed alongside the Alexander McQueen pieces they relate to in a temporary installation designed to showcase the individual approaches and the ways in which artworks and looks interact. The participating artists are Ann Cathrin November Høibo, Beverly Semmes, Bingyi, Cristina de Middel, Guinevere van Seenus, Hope Gangloff, Marcia Kure, Jackie Nickerson, Jennie Jieun Lee, Judas Companion, Marcela Correa and Marcia Michael.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
