On Thursday Nov 19th, McQ (the diffusion line of Alexander McQueen) teamed up with Warp Records to fete the opening of McQ’s new Spitalfields location. The party was held at Electrowerkz London and the secret late-night rave featured a musical lineup that brought both the fashion set and in-the-know club kids out in droves. 

Warp Records curated DJ and live sets that included;  Clark, Darkstar, Patten and Bok Bok. Cementing their reputation as one of the UK’s most progressive and epochal labels. 

The dress code ranged from ultra-glam (fresh from the runway McQ), performance art pieces( OTT looks inspired by original McQueen designs) to grunge (tank tops and sweatsuits) as guests sipped on craft cocktails by Russian Vodka, and danced until the early morning. 

The new McQ store is set to open in Spitalfields next week.
