This Season’s Best Accessories from Alexander McQueen
Spring is here and with it comes exciting new fashion trends. It’s the perfect time to express yourself, try something different, and step out of your comfort zone. Accessories are the perfect way to take your style to the next level and add a personal touch to every look. As Alexander McQueen recently showed us with its Autumn/Winter 2023 collection, the bolder the better. If you’re looking to step into the most powerful (and stylish) version of yourself this season, these are the must-have Spring/Summer 2023 accessories from Alexander McQueen.
The Peak Bag
With a design that is both sophisticated and edgy, The Peak Bag by Alexander McQueen is a must-have. For the design, the house took inspiration from the sharp and structured shoulders of its tailored silhouettes. The bag features a curved magnetic frame, juxtaposed with a relaxed, soft body. The knuckle-inspired opening and antique silver-finished chain strap allow for the bag to be worn either by hand or over the shoulder. The Peak Bag is handcrafted from leather and has a contrasting suede lining. The bag is available in two sizes and comes in three colors: black, ivory, and bright red.
The Shard Shoes
Straight off the London Spring/Summer 2023 runway, Alexander McQueen’s Shard shoes feature a transparent wedge heel that gives the illusion of floating. Available as a double-strap sandal and an ankle boot, the Shard shoe instantly elevates any look. The square-toed Shard Sandals are available in black and bright blue leather. The Shard Boots are crafted in compact viscose knit, all-over sequin, and Hieronymus Bosch inspired embroidery.
The Jewelled Hobo Bag
Inspired by the facetted stone that sits on its knuckle closure, The Jewelled Hobo Bag showcases the sharp, sleek aesthetic of Alexander McQueen. It features an antique silver-finished handle adorned with Swarovski-encrusted rings. The Jewelled Hobo Bag is available in two sizes and vibrant new colors for the Spring/Summer 2023 season: bright red, bright blue, bright orange, reflective silver, and an all-over Hieronymus Bosch inspired embroidery. This statement bag can be worn either by hand, on the shoulder, or across the body.
Spike Studs Mask & Spike Studs Cat-Eye Mask Sunglasses
Launched on the McQueen Spring/Summer 2023 womenswear runway, the Spike Studs Mask and Spike Studs Cat-Eye Mask sunglasses are the perfect bold accessory for this season. The sunglasses, which were inspired by British punk style, have a futuristic, rimless design and are embellished with silver metal spikes. They come with silver or gold metal temples and are available in a variety of colored lenses: pale blue, pink, smoke, brown, and mirrored red and silver.
