Costume Masters Use Life To Interpret Barbaric Fairy Tales

"I hope to design a way beyond the age limit.

In 100 years, it can be exhibited.

You can buy it in an antique shop just like you used to buy it in my fashion shop. "

The late Alexander McQueen had said so.

Now, his works are displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York. "Alexander McQueen:Savage Beauty" is telling her soul to be a dark, savage fairy tale.

This is the first retrospective exhibition that people formally planned for the death of Alexander McQueen.

The curator, Mr. Andrew Bolton, has condensed more than 100 representative works in his career in McQueen19, and has been named "Savage Beauty - the beauty of wildness". The two words with dialectical colors are the works of McQueen and the best proof of his life - the beauty and wild style mixed together, telling romantic fairy tales in wild and dark fashion.

A tribute to the intruders in Paris

McQueen, the designer who was born in 1969, the world's Cultural Revolution year, seems to have been destined to be rebellious in character from the beginning. The experience of growing up in the streets of London and the influence of street culture since childhood are deeply engraved in the design of his later works.

At the age of 16, he followed the tailors of Savile Row as an apprentice. He returned to London in 1992 to enter the famous Saint Martin Institute for fashion design. When he graduated, he launched his first independent clothing conference, so he was appreciated by the famous stylist designer Isabella Blow. Later, he served as the creative director of Givenchy from 1996 to 2000, and then set up his own brand and two-line garment series of his own name.

Isabella adore McQueen's talent. She once described: "Alexander attracts me. He knows how to draw inspiration from the past, and then boldly" destroy "and" negate ", so as to create a new idea, an idea with the spirit of the times.

He looks like a peeping child, looking for the most sexy zone in the broken cloth.

His rebellious and shocking atmosphere caused great waves in Paris that year. The French could not tolerate a small house from Britain who was proud of their fashion house. The broken and messy design would subvert the exquisite and luxurious Paris tradition.

McQueen had to leave Givenchy and focus on his own brand.

But the next creation made the Parisians shut their critical mouth. Each of his releases is like a romantic myth of the past and the future. The clothes that combine dramatic and dark texture are just pieces of art.

But the McQueen art style fashion was released in February 11th 2010, with the sudden death of the gifted suicide.

People can only express their deepest tribute and remembrance to him through today's exhibition.

Therefore, the guests of this exhibition are McQueen's former collaborators and friends in the industry. With deep respect and remembrance, they share with you the story of McQueen: Daphne Guinness donated their collections for exhibition; the fashion photographer S lve Sundsb filmed a set of surrealist album catalogues for the exhibition; the famous fashion critics were Suzy Menkes, Sarah Mower, and the intersect of acquaintances; and the 14 year's deep impact on him was reflected in the dialogue between the current director of the brand creative director and her.

At the unveiling of the "AlexanderMcQueen:Savage Beauty" fashion celebration at the Metropolitan Museum of art in New York in May 2nd, many stars, including Anna Wintour, PhilipTreacy, Hamish Bowles, Stella McCar tney and many other famous designers, journalists, fashion editors and entertainment stars, came to join us to express their thoughts on this early death genius.

Black romantic sentiments

McQueen is most commendable in his thinking and exploration of death and darkness. He moves ghosts design and anger to T. Sometimes it is forgotten that he is actually a person who believes in love and romance.

He once explained himself, "I am not angry.

I'm just too romantic.

Shakespeare's "Love looks not with the eyes", but with the mind., "Andrew mind.", says that in the right arm, "not looks the eyes, but with the mind." believes that the "strong" sentiment is pformed into a powerful aesthetic mood. He continues the tradition of Romanticism in the past, focusing on the expression of emotions no matter how scared or surprised.

His work pushed the audience to the limit of reason, carrying a stirring and absurd joy, mixed with wonder and fear, suspicion and disgust.

The greatness of McQueen lies in its intense emotions, and it always conceals the vision of yearning for the summit and beyond the ordinary.

Therefore, he took the theme of "Romance" as the theme, and divided the entire exhibition's more than 100 works into 6 parts.

There are similarities and differences between the works in the romantic and art showroom and the way of emotional management in Romanticism. The jewelry designer Shaun Leane and the hat designer, the design of the creations of the hat designer, are displayed on this unit separately for visitors to enjoy. "The romantic nationalism" shows us the absolute loyalty and recognition of a British designer to his own blood. "The romantic and exotic sentiment" reflects the influence of the exotic culture as one of the rich sources of inspiration of his design. The last two parts reflect the designer's self admiration and reverence for a long time, "romantic and primeval" and "romantic and romantic naturalism". The first part of the "The Romantic Mind romantic spirit" focuses on the designer's achievements in making clothes and exploring the human body structure; "Romantic Gothic and Cabinet of Curiosities Gothic"

Arranged in a chronological order, Alexander McQueen exhibited the final works of the British central Saint Martin School of art and design from 1992 to the last exhibition in Paris in February 2011, as if it were stirring up a Gothic Fairy Tale.

And in these exquisite works of beauty, we can also see the magnificence and grotesque, hope and destruction, beauty and loneliness hidden in the heart of designers. They are the best footnote for designer's legendary life and the indelible memories of our age.

Through the various works exhibited at the exhibition, we found that McQueen, who always liked "capturing the inspiration in the street with an aesthetical heart", has always broken the framework of traditional aesthetics in his design. He put the cheap garments in the system of high fashion, and filled the dramatic tension of the works. While doing the style design, he was also good at grasping the extension and change of the space, and often used the small details of interest and teasing to dilute the seriousness of the whole.

McQueen's outstanding feature is its unique charm in accessories and stage design. Spray painting, chessboard, wire hanging, heavy rain show, avant-garde modern dance and various installation art, etc., its annual fashion show can be said to be a challenge and subversion to the fashion industry.

Such a natural talent is not compatible with the social and fashion circles. It reminds people of the scissors Edward under the Tim Bur ton lens, a natural alien, with the most beautiful design of her hands, and the cold and warm sadness of the world.

But the courage and bravery of the brave scissors who dared to cut off traditional taboos and his unrestrained imagination can always make people open their eyes one time at a time, and this way of creating more effects through dramatic performance is actually the most perfect balance between McQueen's T show and its customers, which he has been looking for for his own design. As he described, "I design things hidden in people's minds, wars, religions, sex: These are often remembered but not expressed, but I will force people to face up to them."
