Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall Is All About Corset Gowns and Sharp Tailoring

Alexander McQueen's Pre-Fall 2022 collection is a masterpiece from start to finish. Certain looks in particular brought the sartorial drama, delivering the tailoring expertise and couture sensibility we've come to associate with McQueen.

The first look - an off-shoulder corset dress in a vibrant shade of yellow - stands out as a brilliant re-creation of archival silhouettes. A corset dress with silver-metal detailing and an asymmetric drape skirt in pastel pink recalls the vintage slip dress Miley Cyrus wore on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" last month. Each piece proved Burton's virtuosity and mastery of the British label's house codes.

Timed to the debut, Burton tapped 12 international artists to create works inspired by the collection, including Ann Cathrin November Høibo, Beverly Semmes; Bingyi, Cristina de Middel, Guinevere van Seenus, Hope Gangloff, Marcia Kure, Jackie Nickerson, Jennie Jieun Leel, Judas Companion, Marcela Correa, and Marcia Michael. "It's been very interesting to see how creativity has sprung from so many different perspectives," Burton said in a press release. "And the outcomes that have been varied and beautiful." Each artist selected a look from the collection and interpreted it using their preferred medium, including weaving, sculpture, and moving images.

The artworks will be displayed alongside the McQueen looks that inspired them in a temporary exhibition at the Alexander McQueen store on Old Bond Street in London. Appreciate our favorite pieces ahead.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
