Making leather a key material for sustainability. 🗝️

Alexander McQueen's pre-SS21 line

Premium leather pieces are standard for Alexander McQueen year after year, and the label's pre-SS21 line is no exception.

Designed during lockdown, the collection is created out of predominantly repurposed stock fabric that's been renewed with fresh prints and dyes ― making leather a key material for its durability and versatility. On the collection, designer Sarah Burton says “I believe that it is our responsibility to protect the things we love from the past, to preserve our values, signatures, and history, but it is also our job to innovate." That innovation created a variety of upcycled pieces that feel brand new, like the new leather Worker Boot ― a designer take on a closet staple.

Serving sleek simplicity, the Worker Boot is covered in smooth black leather and completed with a classic lace-up style ― fit to accompany any daily outfit. The design is on the simpler side of the spectrum when it comes to the collection as a whole, and other standout leather pieces are spliced into unique silhouettes with bold accents.

Leather Biker Skirt

A sleek A-line fit that hits just below the knee looks like a work skirt at first glance, but dark black leather with contrasting stitch detailing and silver finished metal hardware create an edgy aesthetic.
