Called the Peak, the graphic silhouette of this new Alexander McQueen bag was inspired by the fierce tailoring that is the brand’s calling card. McQueen himself famously got his start on London’s famed Savile Row, and the rigour of English bespoke tailoring has informed the House’s output ever since. Sarah Burton’s fall/winter 2023 collection for the brand was a compelling exploration of shape, expressed through cloth in relation to the human form. The backbone of the collection was ultra-sharp suiting, first presented straightforwardly, and then twisted and deconstructed into new forms. The Peak bag echoes the muscular, precise lines of the ready-to-wear, and is finished with a knuckle duster-inspired handle—yet another signature of the House famed for marrying the hard and the soft, and the beautiful with the brutal.
The Peak bag is priced from $4,500 to $5,040 and available at Alexander McQueen, #01-09, ION Orchard (tel: 6509 4091).
