Otticanet: Alexander McQueen and his revolutionary F/W 2015/2016 eyewear collection

Alexander McQueen is a luxury label inspired by London street style, vintage music scenes and theatrical costumes. Always at the cutting edge of fashion, collections by this internationally popular brand feature sharp tailoring, edgy accessories and have an overall, darkly romantic aesthetic. In modern and vintage shapes, Alexander McQueen sunglasses are luxurious and undeniably cool.

Alexander McQueen left school at the age of 16 and learned tailoring on Savile Row the traditional street in London's Mayfair district, famous for offering made-to-order men's suits, where he learned the technical construction of clothing.

McQueen decided to further his clothes-making career and he began working with theatrical costume designers. The dramatic style of the clothing he made there, would become the signature of his later independent design work.

An openly emotional and even passionate viewpoint is realized with a deep respect and influence for the arts and crafts tradition. In less than 10 years McQueen became one of the most respected fashion designers in the world.

His eyewear collection is innovative and revolutionary, the juxtaposition between contrasting elements is typical of Alexander McQueen’s style: fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, fluidity and severity.

It is in this mood that the model Alexander McQueen AM0008S has been created.

“You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I’m here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.”

London was at the heart of McQueen’s world where he grew up. It's where his heart was and where he got his inspiration, he consistently promoted freedom of thought and expression and his style is free from any constrain.

The McQ line was introduced in 2006 and adapts the McQueen label’s provocative and quintessentially British experimentation for a younger audience.

And here it comes the model McQ MQ0003S with its round shape and smoked lenses.
