The deal calls for expanded production of McQueen's womenswsear and menswear lines by Gucci's manufacturers, a rollout of McQueen boutiques in London (a flagship store on Bond Street), Tokyo and New York (near Stella McCartney's shop by the semi-gentrified meatpacking district) and for Alexander McQueen ready-to-wear collections to be shown in Paris.
Drawn primarily from the Alexander McQueen Archive in London, with some pieces from the Givenchy Archive in Paris as well as private collections, signature designs including the bumster trouser, the kimono jacket, and the Origami frock coat will be on view.
