Four months ago, back in March, Seán McGirr unveiled his highly-anticipated debut collection as Alexander McQueen creative director. As part of the Fall 2024 season of Paris Fashion Week, the Irish designer described his first collection as “rough opulence” and revealing of the “animal within.” Within a vast industrial space on the outskirts of Paris, McGirr served up a lineup of exaggerated funnel-neck knits, larger-than-life furs, hoof-like boots and plastic dresses fit for dolls – with his model army marching to a soundtrack of Enya’s Orinoco Flow.
