The house highlights its comeback to Paris with a focus on anatomical designs.&nbsp;

With <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexander-mcqueen-fall-winter-2023-mens-collection-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexander McQueen</a>'s return to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chloe-fall-winter-2023-collection-looks-runway-photos-gabriela-hearst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Fashion Week</a>, the iconic <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/prince-harry-book-spare-bombshells-meghan-markle-royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British</a> fashion house subverts the foundations of fashion. Creative director <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/alexander-mcqueen-spring-summer-2023-fashion-show-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarah Burton</a> took over the brand when the founder and eponymously named <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexander-mcqueen-iconic-runway-shows-designer-lee-mcqueen-fashion-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lee Alexander McQueen</a> passed away in 2010. Since then, Burton has forged her own path and kept the Maison alive and well through her poetic designs that often intertwine British culture with fashion.
For the Fall/Winter 2023 collection, Sarah Burton references "Human anatomy, clothing anatomy, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/florist-louis-geraud-castor-fleuriste-paris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flower</a> anatomy." Through slashed <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/floral-fabrics-fall-winter-2021-fashion-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fabrics</a>, powerful tailoring, and unexpected volume, Burton subverts the classic. Alexander McQueen utilizes the motif of the orchid to highlight rarity, wildness, and exploration throughout this newest collection.
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/iconic-little-black-dress-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black dresses</a> and bodysuits, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/colorful-leather-spring-2022-fashion-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leather</a> corsets, and tailored wool blends come together to embrace a multitude of bodies. However, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/what-is-genderful-fashion-gender-neutral-fluid-inclusive-harry-styles-troye-sivan-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender-inclusive</a> collection does not lack some splashes of eccentricity through sequins, color, and floral prints. Daring architectural pieces (like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/naomi-campbell-best-90s-moments-young-model-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi Campbell</a>'s opening look) contrast other elements of the design like the sweetheart neckline. &nbsp;With Burton's touch,&nbsp; reimagined classics are an expression of the clear identity of Alexander McQueen.
