In Memory of Elizabeth Howe, Salem, 1692

In Memory of Elizabeth Howe, Salem, 1692 is the thirtieth collection by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, released for the Autumn/Winter 2007 season of his eponymous fashion house. Elizabeth Howe was inspired by the Salem witch trials, and also incorporated elements from occult symbolism and the ancient Egyptian religion. McQueen was distantly related to Elizabeth Howe, one of the women hanged during the trials, and he travelled to Salem, Massachusetts, to do research for the collection. Compared to his previous two collections, which were melancholy and romantic, the narrative was noticeably more Gothic, with themes of persecution and desire. The palette was largely dark shades, with jewel tones and gold for contrast.

The runway show was staged on 2 March 2007 at Le Zénith Arena in Paris during Paris Fashion Week. The collection was presented in a dimly-lit room. A 45-foot (14 m) screen in the shape of an inverted pyramid was suspended above the dark circular stage, where models walked along the lines of a red pentagram. A film directed by McQueen accompanied the show, depicting occult and macabre imagery. Forty-nine looks were presented. The most notable are a series of long dresses with beading which resembles hair, and a gold bodysuit evoking gilded Egyptian statuary.

The collection was not well received. Reviewers complained about the staging, with a broad consensus that the dim lighting made it difficult to see the designs and the macabre theatrics had overshadowed the clothes. It is not better remembered in retrospect. Academic analysis has focused on interpreting McQueen's narrative and references. Items from the collection have appeared in exhibitions like the retrospective Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.
