Last season at the house of Alexander McQueen, Sarah Burton showed a menswear collection which sartorially depicted a gang of young men lost at sea. This story manifested itself visually in the form of structured blazers emblazoned with anchors, or a series of particular ruffled jumpers designed to replicate the movement of waves. In the same way that the late McQueen established his reputation by ensuring that each collection was temporal, firmly rooted in a story and a concept, Burton too relies on heavy research and references to underpin her collections, making each one as unique as the last. To see what the designer has in store for her AW16 menswear collection, watch the story unfold in real time, here at 4pm GMT.
