Beautiful men wearing Alexander McQueen in a London park

This afternoon, Alexander McQueen has unveiled its AW17 collection, which is inspired by legendary wordsmith, Oscar Wilde. The line draws on different moments of the writer’s life: ‘London gent’ tailoring referring to his time in the Big Smoke; more fanciful looks to his time in Paris; and peacock motifs to those painted above his bed in the room at L’Hotel on the Left Bank, which was his last home.

Instead of presenting this collection at a catwalk show, the house decided to do it via a lookbook and film shot by New York-based photographer and Dazed contributor Ethan James Green. Here Green, who is known for his stark black-and-white portraits of NYC’s trans and genderqueer communities, captures the house’s AW17 muses in a park. This diverse and supremely elegant group includes Nii Agency-signed model and illustrator King Owusu and fellow Dazed favourite Myles Dominique.

In addition to shooting Rookie editor-in-chief and actress Tavi Gevinson and a members of New York’s creative new wave for Dazed, Green recently shot a compelling series of portraits of people participating in the “Love Trumps Hate” march in NYC, following the US Election results in November.
