Utility in a handbag has never held such value than in our present day. Between mammoth smartphones, card wallets, masks and the random ephemera loitering at the bottom of our bags, the precedence of compact is essential to our modern day lives. And at Alexander McQueen the fever of functionality is being addressed with the House’s latest offering, the Curve bag.
The brand new shape poses as the biggest accessory launch of the season, with a bold and accentuated shape, in homage to the archetypal bucket bag. Continuing the House’s penchant for harnessing, crossbodying detailing remains high on the agenda, neatly capturing the juxtaposition between contemporary and classic.
Boasting a range of vibrant shades, the authoritative shape exists in both multiple and singular hues, from dauntless apple greens, daffodil yellow to blush and scarlet ensembles. A dexterous companion, the seasonless Curve bag provides both resilience and romance. Under the creative direction of Sarah Burton, the saddling theme remains a constant for the House, modernising the Gothic themes of the founder, Alexander McQueen’s vision.
Maintaining his unique vision of beauty, the strapped silhouette with intricate hand-stitching elicits a voluminous attitude, a nod to the House’s subversive style, riffing on the gap between tradition and imagination, the epitome of the McQueen woman.
