Alexander McQueen is the latest name to design for Samsonite Black Label. Launched at Pitti, the menswear trade show in Florence earlier this month, the luggage created quite a buzz with buyers reportedly flocking around the stand and media clamouring for a glimpse of the fabulous, if not slightly perverse creations.

Fashionwiredaily have a great description of the collection-

"A canny mix of high-tech and gothic futurism, the standout piece was a
wheelie-weekend case that mimicked a rib cage, based on a mould from a
real man. Ergonomic, thoroughly new and even done in black crocodile,
these were statement pieces of luggage reflecting the designer’s edgy
aesthetic"

A video installation accompanying the show created by artist Felice Limosani and displayed at top  Florentine boutique Luisa Via Roma was, in typical McQueen humour, entitled Under my Skin.
