MCQUEEN WOMENS SS26

McQueen Spring Summer 2026 under Seán McGirr, the life of the party - heritage submitting to a new hedonism. Formality liberated from tradition in black tie tailored jackets and trousers, invoking the precision of Savile Row.

Dresses and skirts encapsulate the simmering tensions between rebellion and romanticism in archival-inspired meadow floral prints and wool tartan. The wardrobe leans confidently into the McQueen duality. Deconstructed tailoring with cummerbund waistbands nods to Savile Row but expose its seams, literally and figuratively.

Panelled skirts and spliced tartans swing sharply mid-stride, inviting motion as part of the design’s logic. Black leather dresses and high boots introduce a sleek severity, anchoring the campaign’s moments of chaos with unmistakable McQueen edge. Washed denim and asymmetrical draping soften the collection’s sharper lines, creating a rhythm between improvisation and structure. Textiles - gabardine, waxed cotton, gesso georgette, skullprinted silk, reappear as tactile anchors, reminding viewers that construction remains central to McGirr’s approach even when the styling feels unruly.

  • “We push against nature, tempering instinct in the name of order. What happens when we give way, satisfying our deep-seated desires and innate impulses? What does it take to stir and submit to that primal drive?”
