Design Download: Alexander McQueen

From one of the world's foremost fashion designers comes the third in our series of downloadable garments. Alexander McQueen allowed the public at large to examine and assemble his pattern for a beautiful, kimono-inspired jacket from his Autumn/Winter 2003 collection. Mixing oriental tradition and McQueen's hallmark razor tailoring, this is a succinct summary of his design genius.

About

From one of the world's foremost fashion designers comes the third in our series of downloadable garments. Alexander McQueen allows us to examine and assemble his pattern for a beautiful kimono-inspired jacket from the Autumn/Winter 2003 collection. The brutally sharp tailoring, for which this label is synonymous, is seen in the jacket’s strong linear construction and carefully layered fabric sections. A collision of Western Victoriana and Eastern traditional dress, this garment, like so much of McQueen’s work, references historical detailing, whilst remaining quintessentially modern.
