A strange, sad fashion month had its coda on Tuesday night, with the presentation of Alexander McQueen’s autumn/winter collection in a warehouse in Brooklyn, New York City.
Models walked around large piles of artfully arranged mulch which, the brand’s creative director Sarah Burton said backstage, were made from trees that had “fallen down naturally” and would afterwards be donated to farms and artists’ projects. She added that 85% of the collection was produced from “sustainable, recyclable fabrics,” including all of the polyester.
