Cut-Out Tailcoat Wool Blazer

With Alexander McQueen's affliction for breaking the rules, it was never going to come as a surprise when the label launched a deconstructed blazer as part of its latest collection of formalwear. Shaped from pure wool, this slim-fitting piece features padded shoulders and a cinched waist for a traditional hourglass silhouette. But straying from the pack, the designer cuts a gaping slash at the centre of this jacket – providing a striking glimpse at the skin that lay underneath.

• 100% wool; lining 100% cupro
• Product Code: Ref: R04136237

Headed by Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen continues to reinvent modern femininity with pieces that combine technical expertise with contemporary relevance. From statement dresses, shoes, boots and bags to luxury loungewear and outerwear, classic silhouettes are reimagined with asymmetric cuts and opulent embellishment.
