Chanel FW 2025

Though avian prints appeared in this show—on the likes of Voguette Plum Sykes and the waist-training corsetiere Mr. Pearl—its title paid homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 thriller about violent bird attacks.

Alexander McQueen’s last works were given final honors by his trusted team in a hushed and dignified showing that went to his core as a designer who scaled the heights of couture accomplishment. “He wanted to get back to the handcraft he loved, and the things that are being lost in the making of fashion,” [Sarah Burton] said. “He was looking at the art of the Dark Ages, but finding light and beauty in it. He was coming in every day, draping and cutting pieces on the stand.” The 16 outfits shown had been 80 percent finished at the time of his death.
