The swallow motif has been a recurring theme in Lee McQueen’s designs, having first appeared in his graduate show and the iconic spring/summer 1995 “The Birds” collection. Now, the emblem has been a strong icon of the McQ line over the past five years and for the relaunch of the brand, the motif has become a collection in its own right. Reimagined by artist Tom Tosseyn, the pieces take a literal interpretation of the word and plasters it all over the apparel.

McQ has also teamed up with Warp Records for another unforgettable party commemorating the launch on May 5. Check out the punk-inspired collection above and let us know what you think in the comments below.
