What I find very beautiful about this is the harmony and the taste of the beautiful dresses! I think this collection is one of the best ever seen! Inspired by birds in a cage but also the need for absolute freedom!
"Eclect Dissect' was McQueen`s second collection for Givenchy. For this show McQueen`s art director Simon Costin imagined a fictional surgeon and collector who travelled the world collecting exotic objects and women, whom he took apart and reassembled in this laboratory. The runway show staged the return of these murdered women who come back to haunt the living. The models embodied their ghosts, dressed in the exotic garments collected by their murderer on his foreign journeys. Scottish tartan, Spanish lace, kimonos, Burmese necklaces and eastern folk dresses decorated with feathers and stuffed animals merge to outfits with a morbid aura. The mix of cultures is extended beyond fashion; the show also makes references to his own, british, culture (in the 19th century): the dissecting-reference to Jack the Ripper (who also influenced his graduation collection) and the 'women returning from the dead' motif from the Gothic Novel. McQueen is the only designer EVER to mix elements of Scotland, Spain and Asia - and it works! I love how the models act like victorian ladies, the Princess Leah hair and the Burka with the bird-cage on top! McQueen`s fantasy and courage to put traditional items into new contexts and mix cultures & times will be unrivalled for 100 years at least." - dresscodehighfashion.blogspot.com/2011/12/retrospective-givenchy-haute-couture
This show is a tour de force, and a true demonstration of creativity beyond anyone's imagination. His references were all over the place: Samourai warrior princesses, belle epoque wigs, royalty, black lace mantillas, princess leia and Alexandra Romanov @ 4:00. Incredible but, Monsieur Givenchy is rolling in his grave.
Loving Alexander McQueen in 2019 and Forever! (Side note: Honestly, you're going to make the models tackle the stairs... Lol. In my head I'm tripping falling, tumbling and rolling.)
@wvanderwahl Monsieur Givenchy is NOT DEAD!! He is alive and kicking, who knows what he thinks of Alexander Mcqueens vision for givenchy looking back? But WOW Alexander Mcqueen is my all time favourite designer sheer creativity. Incredible!!
