McQueen Spring 2025 Collection Review

Read beneath the reactions of theFashionSpot’s discussion board members:

“1000x better than Seán McGirr’s debut.” [justpassingthrough]

“This is light years away from that heinous debut. It’s unexpectedly good. It’s not on Lee’s (or even Burton’s) level, but it’s was a good collection and a good show. He should’ve dumped the heavy platforms in favour of sleek stilettos and “floating” heels, however one factor at a time.” [LadyJunon]

“For me this show was a massive improvement from his debut, massive. We can all agree that we will never get McQueen in the dark version of yore, that’s a thing of the past. But I thought that McGirr this time got his s**t together and delivered a much more focused and commercially appealing collection.” [bc collector]

“Much better than the debut, it’s clear the suits bashed him after the flop of the first season.” [FashionPower]

“Okay, he’s finding his momentum slowly…” [fenty]

“I think McQueen is one of the hardest brands to design for because its identity isn’t rooted in a ‘look’, but an attitude. It makes it near impossible to replicate. This is a decent attempt. The collection itself is fine. Beautiful dresses, strongly tailored pieces, and doesn’t overuse house codes. But it’s missing that brazenness and dynamism that really defines the McQueen legacy.” [GoldenPetals]

“The bad tailoring threw it off especially since its part of the brand DNA. Irrespective of the theatrics and extreme styles, McQueen is always perfectly tailored. That said I didn’t mind the collection, looks like someone that will eventually grow into his own whether at this brand or elsewhere.” [Urban Stylin]
