McQueen: Legacy 1

I've always adored Alexander McQueen's work. His virtuoso use of materials, from silk to latex and anything in between, it is nothing short of awe inspiring. But enough lyrical waxing. The piece pictured here are a catalogue (in the early stages) of McQueen's diverse use of materials. And a homage to his legacy cut short.

Memorable examples of Wearable Art

You can't deny that Christian Dior's shows are memorable. What I loved about the Fall/Autumn 2003 show was the silhouette, the bold and exuberant use of colour and the fabric details. From stiff and royal to sheer and sensual, this show was about extremes for me, and wearable art, without a doubt.

The way the silhouette is changed by the shapes of the fabric, is just like Westwood, and one of my favourite aspects of wearable art.

Sketch #11

I woke up this morning with an image in my head. A top hat covered in roses, draped in sheer, floating layers of fabric. I set about drawing and this is what I ended up with. Some aspects have changed from my initial 'vision'.
