Question 18

How do I authenticate Alexander McQueen sneakers?

Accepted Answer

You can authenticate Alexander McQueen sneakers in a variety of ways. One option is to examine the stitching that connects the upper to the outsole. On genuine sneakers, the stitching stops at the point where the sole texture shifts from smooth to rough. Stitching often extends past that point on replicas. Alternatively, check the back of the tongue. Genuine Alexander McQueen designs show the style name and size in the same dark gold numbers toward the center. The fonts may vary in color and size or appear closer to the top of the tongue on fakes. You'll find a range of expertly vetted Alexander McQueen sneakers on 1stDibs.

Question 19

How do I tell if it’s an authentic Alexander McQueen scarf?

Accepted Answer

A simple way to authenticate an Alexander McQueen scarf is to examine the Alexander McQueen logo printed along one edge. From the top of the scarf, the logo appears the same color as the rest of the print. When viewed from underneath, the text appears black. The underside logo has a faded quality like the print on a fake. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted Alexander McQueen scarves.

Question 20

How do I tie Alexander McQueen sneakers?

Accepted Answer

To begin to tie Alexander McQueen sneakers in the brand's trademark style, point the shoe away from you and pass the lace from the bottom left eyelet through the center tab and out through the upper right eyelet. Then, take the end of the lace on the left side and pull it across the shoe through the bottom right eyelet. From there, thread through the second-lowest left-hand eyelet. Cross the lace over to the bottom right-hand eyelet and continue in this fashion until you lace it all the way. Then, tie the ends in a bow.
