Alexander McQueen Launches The Slash & The Hobo, Featuring Kaia Gerber

PRE-SPRING SUMMER 2023 WOMENSWEAR COLLECTION

THE SLASH BAG CAMPAIGN (FILM) – STARRING KAIA GERBER

The juxtaposition between humanity and technology defines the Alexander McQueen campaign for The Slash bag.

Featuring Kaia Gerber, and directed by Glen Luchford, the campaign explores human emotion within a futuristic landscape. 

New for the Spring/Summer 2023 women’s pre-collection, The Slash bag carries many of the signatures the house is known for and features the iconic McQueen Knuckle hardware and skull motif. Crafted in padded leather, the sharply cut, slashed body is inspired by the house’s sliced and slashed tailoring.

THE SLASH & THE HOBO

 Alexander McQueen debuts the two new handbags from the Pre-Spring Summer 2023 womenswear collection: The Slash and The Hobo.

The spirit and style of London street culture is an ever-present source of inspiration. Referencing the aesthetic of a knuckle duster, the Knuckle juxtaposes a sense of urban toughness with the beauty and refinement of jewellery. The embellishment is created in antique silver and gold metal and features the instantly recognisable skull motif, both a symbol of punk style and central to the Victorian concept of the memento mori. Embedded in hand-carved flora and fauna and studded with crystal, its gothic character is in direct contrast with the flowers that surround it.

THE HOBO

New for the Spring/Summer 2023 women’s pre-collection are Small and Mini Jewelled Hobo bags featuring the iconic McQueen Knuckle closure and skull motif. The body of the bag is inspired by the large faceted stone that sits on the Knuckle. The bag may be hand-held, worn on the shoulder or cross body via the chain shoulder strap.

THE SLASH

From the same collection is the Slash bag, embellished with the iconic McQueen Knuckle closure and skull motif. Crafted in padded leather, the sharply cut, slashed body is inspired by the house’s signature sliced and slashed tailoring. The Slash bag may be worn over the shoulder via a faceted chain metal shoulder strap.
