Opting out of London Collections: Men, Alexander McQueen unveiled its spring-summer 2016 men’s collection with a lookbook. Photographed by Julia Hetta, the nuances of this season’s theme make a strong impression. Alexander McQueen head of menswear design Harley Hughes hones in on Indian culture for inspiration.

Revisiting 1960s style, the McQueen man is transported from London to Mumbai. The British fashion house’s tailored heritage is reinterpreted with rich embellishments and elongated silhouettes that look to the East for structure. Decorating double-breasted jackets, long coats and two-button suits with metallic adornments, paisley and splashes of color, Alexander McQueen delivers an exquisite spring outing.
