SOUND ON: @sarahharmarnee - Australian artist and McQueen alumni responsible for some of the most iconic body art pieces and adornments in the late 90s /early 00s for Alexander McQueen and Givenchy. Originally a successful sculptor, Sarah’s application of her art with the catwalk perfectly displayed their interaction with the body, setting a stunning benchmark for show-pieces! Make sure to look for her with Mr McQueen at the beginning!

Mussel Shells Bodice - “Voss” SS ‘01 Sourced from locations as vast as Norfolk seaside and Billingsgate Fish Market, the unconventional organic materials used by Mr McQueen due to his vast zoological and botanical interests always created unexpected and stunning results. #leealexandermcqueen #alexandermcqueen #mcqueenarchive #vintagemcqueen #alexandermcqueenarchive #fashiondetails @mcqueen_vault (at London, United Kingdom)

The distorted satirical shoes of AW ‘09 “Horn of Plenty” collection. Along with the show’s commentary on throw-away culture and house codes of grand couturiers, the footwear perfectly finished the notion of perverse silhouettes and trickery created with extended lines, blown-out proportions and false heels. Pure genius. #leealexandermcqueen #alexandermcqueen #mcqueenarchive #vintagemcqueen #alexandermcqueenarchive #mymcqueenarchive #shoes #designershoes #vintageshoes video by @mcqueen_vault (at London, United Kingdom)

SHOW INVITE: Thanks to contributor @_johnboddy we get a close up of AW ‘95 “Highland Rape” collection invite and notes, on which he was a studio assistant. Using this powerful image by Nico Scwartz, Mr McQueen states in the show notes, “The Scottish Highlands have been a great inspiration to many designers in the past. But they have been romanticised all too often. There were swathes of tartan but only as protection against the elements. Protection proved not enough against the fury of soldiers, as in many places and at many times across the world.” Swipe for the more details in the show notes #leealexandermcqueen #mcqueenarchive #vintagemcqueen #alexandermcqueenarchive @mcqueen_vault (at Royal Borough of Greenwich)
