Dichotomy lies at the heart of
Alexander McQueen (the man just as much as the label), and this year's Pre-Fall collection saw Sarah Burton toying with the concept in the form of hybrid silhouettes. A collision of the casual and the haute-couture, this mini dress is a prime example. Cut like a classic sweatshirt from the puffed sleeves to the shoulders, it changes tack halfway through, merging into a fitted wool dress: both cerebral and highly wearable, we reckon.
