Striped Brand-Embroidered Cotton-Knitted Cardigan

Alexander McQueen's highly original blend of subversion and tradition made the late British designer so renowned, and there's no better example of this than his use of colour and pattern. Take this cotton knitted cardigan. A comfy long-sleeved layer from Sarah Burton's final collection, it's swathed in oversized, colour-blocked stripes from side to side. One thing's for sure: you will be centre stage in this louder-than-life piece.
