Following McQueen’s unfortunate suicide, 16 of his final creations were showcased in a dignified setting to honor the designer’s couture accomplishments throughout his fashion career.
The collection seeped renaissance nobility while highlighting the art of the Dark Ages. Beauty and radiant passion emitted from the rich fabrics and structured tailoring; the pieces were anything but a representation of a “Dark” era. The collection was minimal but the poetic and medieval splendor was still translated through religious iconography and subtle baroque artistic styling. As is typical for McQueen’s genius, he was able to transmit the grace of a period that generally is associated with aggression and hostility.
