Alexander McQueen’s signature dark romance doesn’t have to conjure an all-black colour palette – the British brand evokes the mystery through fabric for AW19. Sarah Burton weaves traditional tailoring techniques into this dress, with its padded shoulders and darts to shape the bodice that culminates in a gathered overlay at the waist. Of course, there’s an off-kilter element: the asymmetric skirt. As per the runway, we’d cinch it with a leather belt at the waist.
