Givenchy Fall 2000s Ready-To-Wear Collection: McQueen’s Stylistic Rebellion

“I’m a cliché”, a punk ballad plays in the background as models strut the runway. Military colours of army green and purple dominate the runway. It’s almost as if the models are soldiers marching from the form they walk in. While the outfits act as uniforms for these soldiers. These are some of the personalContinue reading “Givenchy Fall 2000s Ready-To-Wear Collection: McQueen’s Stylistic Rebellion”

Forlorn

Fingers intertwine in a myriad of thoughts, Emotions arise from previously forgot Two bodies roam in search of a resolution, Lost to Aphrodite, stuck in delusion An indescribable sensation roams their being, A lovestruck pair, a bittersweet feeling A fate ordained by the stars, a joke gone too far In the space of hope, despairContinue reading “Forlorn“

The Void

Silence creeps up on you, no sound to be found. In this noiseless space, where even breath loses its place Is this real or am I imagining things? Slowly losing my hold, as reality sinks. I’m trapped in my head, my thoughts my own prison Lost in my mind, I search for an escape AnContinue reading “The Void“

Alexander McQueen “Golden Shower” SS 1998 R-T-W

“Golden Shower”, is a vile and erotic phrase aptly used for Alexander McQueen’s 1998 Spring/Summer collection. The title was conjured by Lee in direct response to the sponsors of the show American Express and the upcoming launch of their new Gold Card in the UK. However, it was later replaced by the title, “Untitled”, dueContinue reading “Alexander McQueen “Golden Shower” SS 1998 R-T-W”

Slow Fashion: A Movement

Fashion production makes up 10% of human carbon emissions. Let that sink in, humans produce 34 billion tonnes of carbon emissions each year, of which this industry alone makes up 3.4 billion tonnes of it. I have recently been doing a deep dive into sustainability as opposed to my previous surface-level practices, from which IContinue reading “Slow Fashion: A Movement”

Grails Part 2: D&G Military Flight Jacket and Pants

At this point, I intend to make this grail collection a series. Every few years it seems as though military and bondage styles and clothing become trendy again. We’re taking it back to 2003 with this collection. Dolce and Gabbana had just released their Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter collections. It was immediately caught on, the useContinue reading “Grails Part 2: D&G Military Flight Jacket and Pants”

Alexander McQueen “La Poupée” SS 1997 R-T-W

“La Poupée”, McQueen’s subsequent show after his “Dante” collection was distorted beauty personified. Inspired by Hans Bellmer’s photographs of mutilated and reassembled dolls. McQueen’s runway was all about fictional bodies. To my understanding, McQueen’s collection was a critique of the limitations of the human body, both presenting those limitations and merging them with reality throughContinue reading “Alexander McQueen “La Poupée” SS 1997 R-T-W”

C2H4 Los Angeles: The Future Of Humanity

C2H4 is a utilitarian streetwear brand unlike any other. I felt inclined to shed light on this brand due to its most recent campaign titled “Future City Uniform” for FW21. This retro-futuristic take is not an unpopular approach, however, I haven’t quite seen it done like this before. In this campaign, C2H4 displayed their creativeContinue reading “C2H4 Los Angeles: The Future Of Humanity”
