The Alexander McQueen Fall 2023 ad campaign, photographed by David Sims, features Naomi Campbell, Elle Fanning, Liu Wen, Eva Green, Yseult, Eliott De Smedt Day, Karolina Spakowski and Momo Ndiaye. Alexander McQueen welcomes flocks of powerful women to front the campaign.

The Fall collection is an exploration of beauty and power through tailoring and tailoring fabrics and a focus on cut, proportion and silhouette. The foundations of fashion, cut on the body and inspired by the body within. The classic subverted: turned inside out and upside down. Volume is neat – strict – or exploded. Garments are dissected: slashed, sliced and twisted.

The most prominent motif in the collection is the orchid, in its rarer forms cultivated but, after the daisy, the most common flower. It thrives in the air, resists being rooted and grows in the wild. Extraordinarily beautiful and infinitely adaptable, the orchid mimics both predator and prey. In the language of flowers, the orchid is a symbol of love.

The campaign also features the new Seal handbag, available in a more compact size for Autumn/Winter. The elegant satchel is crafted in soft Seal quilted leather with an adjustable chain and leather shoulder strap and cut-out metal McQueen Seal closure. Like its predecessor, the Seal, it has rounded edges and both the main body and the hardware of the bag plays on curved lines.
