Alexander McQueen ss 2010

I would love to get into his head when he is coming up with his designs. And also to understand how hard it must be to walk in those shoes...Booth Moore describes it best:
The creatures that came out onto the runway were otherworldly nymphs with hair like cobra hoods, and staggering platform shoes with armor-like shells. One look morphed into the next, with dresses wrapping, twisting and folding in on each other. Moth, praying mantis and manta ray prints evocative of Damien Hirst’s nature-themed works were engineered specifically for each garment, and embroideries brought to mind underwater wreckage. Dresses also were covered in a print taken from an aerial view of the Great Barrier Reef, and when the evolutionary process was complete, a new being emerged in the final model, dressed in sequins and opalescent beads that conjured underwater bio-luminescence.
There are pieces that remind me a lot of Alien, and just as many others that remind me of nature and the different ecosystems. As fashiontoast puts it: "I love it when fashion reminds me of things that have nothing to do with fashion".
