McQueen's Balmy Summer Ending.
In response to summer’s febrile charge, McQueen captures the intense heat of the season with its Autumn/Winter 2026 Pre-Collection. Earthy shades of ochre, smoky grey, pale pink, and blue form the in-between seasonal palette. McQueen’s signature precision and tailoring heritage are met with a modern material lightness by the loosening of harness details and corset lacing. Delicate silk floral and black and white gingham dresses are sharply contrasted with the gunmetal leather Lexie mules. Pavé skulls accentuate the jewellery and bag handles for an edgy finish.
For men, the skulls appear as a jacquard print on the single-breasted jacket and trousers set or as a quirky accessory – the Dancing Skeleton Pin Brooch and earring. Seasonal knitwear arrives in knotted and draped finishes that build on a contemporary wardrobe.
McQueen’s AW26 Pre-Collection is available to shop online and in stores.
