Alexander McQueen 2021 early spring series, this season was shot on a beach on the Jurassic Coast in southern England. The neatly tailored suits give a simple and elegant color and line sense; the skirts are romantic and sassy with a tie-dye gradual process; the three-dimensional prints in the details still show the "softness and rigidity" of McQueen. In this series, many elements that have received much attention have been preserved and developed.
"Everyone has a whatever we want, free fantasy kingdom, bright optimism and pessimism darkness coexist. I think I am an easy sentimental person, I work always with a touch of sadness, but the sadness behind is romantic."
-Alexander McQueen
talked about Alexander McQueen (Alexander McQueen), the public's evaluation of him is polarized, and followers who follow him offer it to the altar, while those who don't like him sneer at him.
Rebellious design concept
McQueen was born in a typical working class in the Upper East Side of London, England. His father was a taxi driver and his mother was a primary school teacher. He helped the three sisters in the family design clothes, which showed his design talent, and since then, he has determined to become a fashion designer.
He left campus at the age of 16 and became an apprentice at a tailor clothing store in Savile Row and Anderson Shepherd. At the age of 20, he worked for designer Koji Tatsuno for a while. During this period, he had designed costumes for theatrical, which had an important influence on his subsequent designs.
McQueen entered the public's field of vision with his graduation work "Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims" at the Central Saint Martins School of Design and Art, inspired by "Jack the Ripper and his victims." The model wore a large red coat with thorns print, and the blood-stained red lining was faintly visible. Although this is his first show show, from the first show, we can get a glimpse of his design style: bold and innovative design, integrating social issues into fashion, and full of strong emotional tension. Arouse people's thinking about social issues.
He once said frankly: "I don't want you to have a weekend lunch after watching my show. I want you to feel repelled or aroused when you come out, and be emotional. If you don't leave with emotions, , That's because I didn't do my job well".
Since then, each of his series has a strong personal style.
In 1994, the first season of personal brand McQueen's work "Nihilism", which means nothingness, was inspired by women under violence.
The 1995 "Highland Rape" alludes to England's massacre of Scotland.
A fashion created by man and machine in 1999.
2001 spring and summer "Voss" (Voss), inspired by the Victorian mental hospital, it is intended to reveal the inner beauty under the ugly appearance.
Encounter between Maxima and Bole
Maxima is a Maxima, because there is a relationship with Bole. When
made his first show at McQueen, the money he made for the show came from the government's unemployment assistance. In the personal documentary "Floating Life", McQueen wrote: "I live on unemployment benefits. I bought all the fabrics I wanted with the money I bought for bread. Then I went to my parents to eat baked beans and drink. soup".
In McQueen’s first show, Isabella Blow (lsabellaBlow), as McQueen’s Bole, bought all McQueen’s works for £5,000 to help McQueen survive the most difficult period. With a keen sense of fashion, she captured the brilliance of this design genius, and finally made McQueen. The fall of a genius
is such an epoch-making genius, but he chose to end his life by suicide, which is embarrassing.
Before he left, his Bole also left because of cancer, and the most unacceptable thing was that he left before his mother. In a previous interview, a reporter asked him what he was most unacceptable: "I left before my mother."
His mother is the most important person in his life. When his family members opposed him learning fashion design, it was his mother’s persistence. He sent him to study and became the "Godfather of British Fashion" and a legend in the fashion circle: Alexander · McQueen.
