We’d ordinarily be devastated at the lack of an
Alexander McQueen runway show, but the label’s move to stage SS21 along the Thames bank was a stroke of genius – not least for the contrast the grimy setting provided to this season’s ethereal gowns. This fluttery midi dress is a prime example. It’s spun from a featherlight cotton-silk blend, with a tiered ruffled hem that swirls at your every step; toughen it up with some chunky leather boots, we say.
