Who’s afraid of gruesome displays of insect-cum-human dysmorphia? Not Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The (latest) proof: this jewel-studded skull sitting atop a set of cicada wings sitting atop a knuckleduster sitting atop a gold python clutch. The somewhat disturbing transmutation is a little Spiderman, a little Silence of the Lambs, and all McQueen.

$2725 (aubergine suede) or $3195 (gold python) exclusively at Alexander McQueen stores and  online
