McQueen

FALL 1999 READY-TO-WEAR

By Alexander McQueen & Lee McQueen

Despite the fact that it was inspired by The Shining, The Overlook was one of Alexander McQueen’s most poetic collections. Presented inside a Lucite box, that imitated a Victorian-themed snow globe, this wintry fantasy featured ice skaters, gorgeous chunky handknits, and warm shearlings in a birch forest. As always, there was virtuoso tailoring; this show also featured intricate patchworked pieces. A laser-cut silver metal skirt and a silver metal corset wowed with their craftsmanship.
