Alexander McQueen

I am writing this post to warn customers of this Brand and online shopping on their website!
I made a purchase of Mens trainers at the beginning of October’15 which were faulty, it took a fair amount of emails/​photos to have them accept that the item was faulty. (GLUE STAINS WERE ON THE TRAINERS)
It then took a further 2 – 3 weeks to have them send a courier company to pick the trainers up.
The trainers were £385 so of course I am going to send them back!!!
It has now been almost 3 months and they have still not refunded me my money! I have 100s of emails and also a few emails confirming they have returned my money… BUT STILL IT HAS NOT RETURNED TO MY BANK ACCOUNT!
I am now being charged on my credit card over £70 for late payments due to the incompetence of the customer service staff and management at Alexander McQueen!
All they say on the phone is «Im so sorry I will look into it» and every week I call it is the same robot minded person with the same message!
I hope this post makes you wake up and treat your customer with the same premium service online as you would in store!!!

Whenever I’m walking down Old Bond St, I deliberately walk through the McQueen showroom because it feels like I’m walking through an art gallery. The garments are stunning and beautifully displayed — even if it’s just on a hanger.
The sales staff are very lovely and proactive — if you try someone on and it’s not fitting properly, they’ll clip/​pin and tuck it until if fits you and they have it tailored for you. Tailoring is free on regular-​priced, current season items. Sale and older items there is a fee.
One star off because on my most recent visit, the sales staff on the lower level seemed to think that a group of 4 girls were suspicious, and were blatantly watching us for shoplifting. What were we going to do — put the dress on, run upstairs, and outside with it, past their security guard at the door in the middle of winter?!

Set within a fantastic street for all of you high end shoppers Alexander McQueen is a little bit of fashion paradise.
As seasons come and go, and fashion trends move on I will talk less about how absolutely well made the clothes are and how I wanted to curl up in a little ball in the corner of my dressing room in a beautiful nest of clothing, and more about the store itself.
The staff are quick to bring new sizes upon request, über helpful, great in their opinions as to what looks good or not while the store is perfectly streamlined and clutter free. It is always nice to feel like the store is all your own without people getting in the way.
BE WARNED: To come into this store and try one their clothes is on your own head! You will likely fall in love with numerous items and be upset when you cannot afford to leave with them all.

A visit to the shop is like peering into a little bit of Alexander McQueen’s fantasy. For women, the dresses and coats were gorgeous and romantic. They were the most outstanding in construction and design for me out of their collection.
I actually prefer Alexander McQueen for men’s wear more than for women. There’s a wider range from casual to formal. I think their men’s wear is playful and edgy whereas the women’s line was more romantic and serious.
Lost in McQueen’s petticoat dreams. (sigh)

Super helpful staff, if a little over-​zealous about being made useful… a welcome change from most shops on Bond.
Was fortunate to score a dress from his last collection.
A very sweet Italian boy helped me and was very constructive with his opinion when I was deciding between two versions.
risk: falling in love with too many pieces here
reward: edgy wearable beauty

Is there really much to say about the Prince of fashion? He is amazing, his designs are to die for, as are his flagship stores. Sleek, gorgeous and achingly cool — this store reflects the phenomenal design of McQueen’s clothes. It may also be painfully pricey, but if you’ve got the cash, splash it here.

This British designer is a success story based on his talent and his hard work. After a stint as designer for Givenchy, he was backed to start his own label with Gucci Group as his financial backer and this led to the expansion and now the amazing stores he has opened worldwide. This one on Bond Street is quite interesting because although it’s nestled between the most revered fashion brand stores, it still has some edge and uniqueness to it. I specially adore the window displays. The line of clothing is of superb design and quality, but it also really expensive. But I guess at this point with all the recognition he has, most people know that, and expect those prices.

I must say that before I visited the Alexander McQueen shop and actually hold and tried some of his clothes, I never understood what was all the fuss about. But I discovered that the secret lies in his skills to make clothes, the razor-​sharp, well-​constructed tailoring is just spotless combined with feminine and flattering designs. That is why this is so «cutting edge».
The rebellion designer has one boutique in London, and I was secretly disappointed to find it from the New Bond street. Well the store. with the completely white plastic interior, looks like a bloody designer shop and you can feel how your every step is being followed by the staff that has absolutely nothing else to do –but the service is still friendly, just be brave.
