The runway was transformed with a suspended plastic wind tunnel, setting the stage for a story about survival and beauty in harsh landscapes. McQueen described it as a “nomadic journey,” and the concept was woven into every detail. The designs mirrored this idea of crossing cultures and terrains.

His signature nip-waisted jackets and stiff A-line skirts took center stage, elevated by incredible craftsmanship. Each piece told its own story, with decorations inspired by samurai armor, Russian lacquered dolls, and tribal ceremonial outfits.

The details were breathtaking. Jackets and skirts were embroidered, painted, and embellished with precision, turning traditional patterns into something bold and modern. There were also surprises, like suits made from checkerboard patterns that highlighted McQueen’s cutting skills. A standout moment came with a pale gray chiffon dress, delicately sequined, paired with vibrant red over-the-knee boots—it was the perfect mix of elegance and edge. McQueen created more than clothes—he told a story of resilience and beauty.
