Unforgettable Design Genius Alexander Mcqueen
A year ago, Alexander McQueen, the most talented contemporary designer in England, hanged himself in a mansion in London, Alexander. Since the death of McQueen, his commemorative activities have not ceased. The Alexander McQueen Memorial Exhibition held by the Metropolitan Museum of New York will be opened in May 4th, where people can revisit the immortal masterpiece of designing the ghost.
The makun Memorial Exhibition held by the Metropolitan Museum of Fashion Institute is an affirmation of McQueen's talent. The tradition of this chamber is to display only the works of dead artists. The last time people here were looking back at the Gianni Versace, the founder of Versace brand. Andrew Bolton, the curator of the museum, hopes to let Andrew know his story before he becomes a legend before McQueen's memory is still intact.
Trino Verkade is a witness and follower of the queen McQueen era. She is the first employee of McQueen, and a close friend of her career when Wecard started her career. Today, Wecard is responsible for sorting out and editing some records of McQueen, who has been busy preparing for the commemorative exhibition in recent months. Wecard recalls: "everything starts with acting. Lee (Lee, a friend's nickname for McQueen) regarded his clothing exhibition as a combination of costumes and stage and music. His clothes show never considers rationality, but personal and emotional, and he never wants to destroy them.
The dramatic stage is McQueen's business card. Magic and reality, conservatism and debauchery, tradition and taboo are his pronoun. In his show, you can see the real wolf. You can see that Kate Moss, the world supermodel, is like a ghostly ghost floating in the center of the stage.
The dreamy show and the design of the sky show that McQueen's talent as a designer, he is a skilled tailor, no drawings can also cut out a beautiful dress. His "grass roots" origin, rude manners and rebellious personality made him a fearful, but also huge magnetic field.
In 1992, McQueen went to St. Martin's College, a famous fashion designer who had cultivated many famous fashion designers, for fashion design. When he graduated, he launched his first independent clothing conference. The inspiration of the design came from "Ripper Jack" (ring killer), whose design theme was appreciated by the famous stylist Designer Isabella Isabella (Saint Martin Isabella). Then in 1996, McQueen produced his first official series, and bumster pant made him famous. At that time, some people thought that he designed this kind of low waist trousers with a leaky groin. It was purely a sensationalism. But McQueen said that he adopted such a design just to elongate the proportion of the woman's figure.
McQueen's design career has been following the wind and has a place in the fashion industry at an amazing speed. But pressure and anxiety also follow, and fate seems to be against him. In 2007, McQueen's confidant Isabella bro committed suicide, and 3 years later, the mother left him again, all of which made him unbearable. Before his mother's funeral, he chose to commit suicide at the age of 40.
Because he was gay, he was laughed at; because he was too close to his mother, he was sneered at. McQueen knew that his mother's death resulted in his suicide. McQueen's father is a taxi driver who lives in public housing for low-income people. McQueen is neither fashionable nor attractive, and one of his friends commented on him. "His appearance is more impressive than any magazine. He's short and fat. He's like an unemployed bully. He did not deliberately dress up in a trendy fashion, and what he was like; I think he was very proud of his middle class origins.
Because of the "grass roots" origin, McQueen and the middle class have a special feeling. Because he had no money to go to expensive clothing courses, he left school at the age of 16 and became an apprentice at Savile Row's tailoring shop. Because of the role of fashion designers, and get a sense of drama. When he was the chief designer of Givenchy, France's top brand, his design showed strong feminism. Because of "grass roots", compared with other designers, McQueen is more inclined to stress the working class's oily hands, grind his bleeding feet, and his inoffensive self-esteem. When McQueen died, he was chased as a child: Although he was born in the east end of London, he grew up with dignitaries and celebrities to put on his designs.
McQueen's works often appear on diplomatic occasions. The wife of British Prime Minister Cameron called McQueen a "one of the greatest fashion designers in Britain". But McQueen's work is not just diplomatic. His design is a cry for civil rights in a more sophisticated way of art. He designed the Highland Rape series to condemn the eighteenth Century Englishmen's slaughter of the Scots. He once gave women bold boldness to give women greater power. This is a confrontation between him and gender violence.
McQueen's Spring Series in 2004 was based on the movie Sidney Pollack (Sydney Pollack), "they shot the horse, didn't it?" the movie posed a question: is it to save people from pain or to let them die in pain? Which of these two choices is more benevolent? McQueen's unique show design, incredible costumes, and vivid and contrasting models explain this problem.
McQueen's design does convey a kind of cold realism, which conveys the injustice, cruelty and inevitability of life, and McQueen's audience is addicted to the beauty of anxiety. A close friend of McQueen said: "his design combines two things -- the external beauty of fashion and the supreme beauty of death. The reason why his works resonate is because of a self destruction. His ambition and ideas are far beyond the surface of the clothing design industry. He has an evil side. He has a just hatred of himself and others' environment.
Because of this, you can see a brave and rugged sincerity in McQueen's works. Regardless of beauty and ugliness, it is always hard to resist.
