Scanners

This checkerboard suit from Scanners flaunts Alexander McQueen’s advanced cutting abilities: Curved or squared, on the grain or bias, the pattern pieces are meticulously arranged to create a vibrant optical illusion, visually sculpting the body. His technique—first honed during Savile Row apprenticeships—can be compared to that of renowned American designer Gilbert Adrian, who similarly excelled in the graphic pattern placement of tailored suits. Both designers are noteworthy for beautifully translating traditional men’s tailoring approaches for womenswear.
