- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, notwithstanding the net current liability position on the Company's statement of financial position, which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company will have sufficient funds, through its group cash pooling arrangement with its UK sister company, Kering UK Services Limited, to continue operations and to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Furthermore, the Company has obtained a letter of support from Kering S.A. which provides support to the Company, such that the Company is able to operate as a going concern and to settle its liabilities as they fall due. This includes not seeking repayments of amounts advanced to the Company by Kering S.A. unless adequate alternative financing has been secured by the Company and advancing further amounts to the Company as required by the Company. This support has been provided for a minimum period of 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In September 2023, the McQueen brand announced the end of their collaboration with Creative Director Sarah Burton, who had been in the role since 2010. The Autumn-Winter 2024 collection was the first collection under the creative design of Seán McGirr.”
- “In 2024, the revenue of Alexander McQueen Trading Limited is 25.5% down versus the prior year. This is largely due to the closure of the Matches Fashion and Farfetch eCommerce concessions, which combined account for £3.2m of the £6.1m decline in revenue.”
- “In 2024, management has evaluated to impair the value of the tangible assets of the Bond Street flagship store. As a result, an impairment loss of £2,212,803 has been recognised in the income statement (2023: £3,877,192).”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
