It’s Only a Game, Alexander McQueen S/S 2005

The models moved as if they were pieces in a life-sized chess game, an idea inspired by a scene from Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone. Once they had taken up their positions, reminders of all McQueen’s past signatures and silhouettes were in place: Savile Row sharp-tail coats; richly embroidered Japanese kimonos; streamlined sci-fi bodysuits; rigid molded corsets; and stiff, flounced godet skirts. Taken as a whole, the collection also highlighted McQueen’s remarkable ability to look across cultures for inspiration.
