‘The collaboration seamlessly plays on the shared aesthetic vision of Hirst and McQueen, in which an interest in symmetrical design is combined with strong references to the natural world,’ said the official statement.
The scarves are available in Chiffon, Pongé, Twill and Cashmere. All 30 designs are limited and will be available from mid-November at Alexander McQueen stores worldwide and from the scarf boutique of alexandermcqueen.com.
