Alexander McQueen - slow is beautiful

Alexander McQueens is one of the few designers who looks past the unexpected and challenges everything, which is shown prominently in his runway shows he treats them more like an exhibition of his work. Two of his shows videos are below on of which is a Hologram. It gives is an ethereal feel as if Kate moss is underwater floating, Which I though linked very well with slow beauty. I may experiment with filming different materials underwater. Here is a still below of the Hologram.

Here are some more of his unusual idea, which he uses nature in to make them unique butterfly’s gently caressing the body of a large women who is naked which some sort of breathing device it has a contrast of the naked body and butterfly’s and a metal goblin like mask creating a juxtaposition.

Another show has a Cinderella feel to it but more grimes brothers then Disney these eagle birds are typing the garment up but the model looks terrified. The garment is bottom half made from feathers so the audience might get the idea the birds are getting revenge on the girl. Has a Hitchcock feel to it.

He has such interesting ideas from so many influences and always tries to do something that has not already been done. I hope in Unit X in our group 'wearing it' we will be able to try to be more marginal then mainstream and challenge many ideas.
