Philip Treacy for Alexander Mcqueen | ‘Chinese Garden’ | 2005⠀
———⠀
Treacy’s work, for all its originality, is also rooted in his deep knowledge of the history of art, fashion, and design. This Chinese garden refers to the popularity of Chinoiserie in the eighteenth century and to the 1770s fashion for elaborate landscapes constructed in the topography of a woman’s heroically sculpted hair. For his high-style coronet, Treacy has cannibalized the decorative shadowboxes of intricately cut-worked cork purchased in Asia and rearranged them into his own Orientalist fantasy.
