#McQueenCreators are challenged with embroidery and sketches

Alexander McQueen started the #McQueenCreators challenge a couple of weeks ago to give people who are staying home in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine through mini fashion challenges on social media. The latest challenges have fashionistas celebrating silhouettes and embroidery.

On April 23 McQueen assigned the creators a new challenge to draw silhouettes of the SS20 womenswear and AW20 menswear collection using a sketchbook of chose materials. They also feature a video with renowned artist, Howard Tangye, sharing his techniques on creating inspiring sketches for McQueen.
