British luxury house ALEXANDER MCQUEEN unveiled their Fall Winter 2022.23 campaign featuring models Awar Odhiang, Lucia Fairfull, Florence Nicholls, Celina Ralph, Wang, and Achenrin Madit lensed by fashion photographer Paolo Roversi. The collection was inspired by the interconnecting power of mycelium, and by the nature as a community.
Mycelium connects even the rooftop of the tallest skyscraper to the plants, to the grass, to the ground, to animals and to human beings. Mycelium has the most profound, interconnecting power, relaying messages through a magical underground structure, allowing trees to reach out to each other when either they or their young need help or are sick. The idea is humbling – beautiful – and, of course, a metaphor for interconnection and for community between people, between us all. We exist as single, individual entities on one level, but we are far more powerful connected to each other, to our families, to our friends, to our community. – Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen’s creative director
