Kering-owned London luxury house, now branded McQueen, pairing dark-romantic tailoring and skull motifs under creative director Seán McGirr.
Why it's similar. Like Westwood, McQueen is known for pushing fashion boundaries with dramatic and avant-garde designs.
What changes. Higher price, sleeker luxury polish and less DIY punk irony
Rei Kawakubo's Tokyo label, founded 1969, known for avant-garde pattern-cutting, a family of sub-labels and the heart-logo Play diffusion line.
Why it's similar. Both share a foundation in avant-garde aesthetics and favor deconstructed silhouettes.
What changes. Japanese abstraction rather than British historical pastiche
Defunct Paris label, founded 2010 and led by Glenn Martens, known for twisted denim and deconstructed, gender-fluid tailoring; ceased operations January 2025.
