“We are very enthusiastic about this launch: the development of our menswear is a priority for us and expanding the diversity of products within that sector is mandatory. The underwear line places the brand in a new product and price category whilst maintaining our aesthetic, creativity and quality,” said Jonathan Akeroyd, CEO Alexander McQueen in a release.

“Our collaboration with Albisetti is a long-term project, as we will continue the basics, the fashion range will be updated every season. We will immediately offer a swimwear variation for summer 2011 and further expansion is yet to come.”
