Today's featured article Look 44 from the collection What a Merry-Go-Round is the eighteenth collection by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, made for the Autumn/Winter 2001 season of his eponymous fashion house. The collection drew on imagery of clowns and carnivals, inspired by McQueen's feelings about childhood and his experiences in the fashion industry. The designs were influenced by military chic, cinema such as Nosferatu (1922) and Cabaret (1972), 1920s flapper fashion and the French Revolution. The palette comprised dark colours complemented with neutrals and muted greens. The collection's runway show was staged in February 2001 in a dark room with a carousel at the centre, with 62 looks (one pictured) presented. It was McQueen's final show in London. Critical response to the collection was generally positive, and it has attracted some academic analysis for the theme and messaging. It served as a critique of the fashion industry, which McQueen sometimes described as toxic and suffocating. (Full article...)
