McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2026 campaign has arrived — and it’s fiery. Musicians Caroline Polachek, Celeste and Amy Taylor pose against scorched backdrops with models Alex Consani and Sora Choi. Photographed and directed by Harley Weir, the images convey the five women’s intensity. 

“Behind, and in front of the camera, each woman has a power that feels inherently McQueen. They bring the house’s propulsive spirit to life — uninhibited, but incisive and in control,” Creative Director Seán McGirr said in a statement. 

Amid tree branches and a hazy backdrop of orange sky, the creatives wear deep red, white, and black. Taylor holds the Manta Bag in white, its sculptural silhouette complimented by corset-inspired lace-up detailing. Polachek carries another iteration in black croc-embossed calf leather with fringes.

Sheer floral-patterned and low-rise pants are paired with cropped jackets, embodying McQueen’s usual boldness. Academy Award-winning set designer Shona Heath brought the surrealist set to life. 

The campaign merges harsh natural elements with a sense of urban modernity, celebrating the incendiary nature of the five creatives. Corset-inspired detailing carries through the campaign, appearing on dresses and necklines in addition to the Manta. Metallic accents are added with McQueen’s Scissor Earrings. 

The brand reaffirms its commitment to innovative design, plunging into intensity and simmering heat.
