Despite the theatrics, the clothes were your standard Alexander McQueen, well made, well cut. A lot of houndstooth (maybe a little too much), a hubcap that doubled as a hat, and was that an umbrella that was also doubling as a hat?.
Whatever else is gnawing him, this is a man who will never compromise on construction and craftsmanship. This season, he’d noticeably forgone his typical carapace corsetry, …
