love live mcqueen

I was so inspired by this stunning collection.  I have been currently working on a thesis statement for my own oil painting series in which I look to death and nature for theming.

It is gratifying to see correlation of my own work with someone as esteemed as McQueen.  Check out this AMAZING work- I love the natural set, the way in which the grass is arranged, the music and the notion that these beautiful clothes are just as animistic and raw as the set.

IN LOVE. 

Check it out- be inspired. <3

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN WOMEN'S AUTUMN/WINTER 2014

INSPIRATION

A wild, romantic beauty. Beauty And The Beast, Forest undergrowth, flora and nocturnal fauna: roses, ivy, oak trees, moths, owls.

THE COLLECTION

A sensual and light approach to construction. The silhouette is free, unconstructed and empire -line. Capes, hoods, puffed and bell sleeves. Tiering, smocking, scalloping, pleating and pom-poms. Frilled and frayed hemlines fall to the ankle or knee. Trousers are narrow, cropped and boyish. Exaggerated collars and hoods are fastened with ribbons and bows through oversized silver eyelets.
