British fashion label Alexander McQueen is teaming up

with artist Damien Hirst to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its iconic skull-print scarf.

The British artist is to rework the classic into 30 exclusive limited edition designs, with each print being inspired by his Entomology paintings, featuring colourful insects such as butterflies, bugs, and spiders displayed to form kaleidoscopic geometric shapes, laid out to create the McQueen skull motif.

McQueen chose Hirst for the anniversary collaboration because of the artists’ “interest in symmetrical design is combined with strong references to the natural world.”

The 30-piece collection will be available at Alexander McQueen boutiques and online from mid-November, and the scarves will be featured in a rainbow of colours in chiffon, pongé, twill and cashmere.
