There are few designers whose clothing can bounce off the pages of a magazine or grab your attention from the other side of the room, like the late and great Alexander McQueen’s creations did. Before his death McQueen created one of the most spectacular and inspiring collections of his career for spring summer 2010.
The ultimate capture of his imagination exploded on the runway in an army of tribal fusion. A rainbow of colours swept the room, prints adorned on every piece, with models stomping the runway as if the were heading to war. This leads me to today’s piece, the olindias print cape by Alexander McQueen. From the outside a simple, chic black silhouette, perfect for every day, but lift up the arms and you are exposed to the roaring, royal blue graphic print of the cape.
Turning an everyday item into something unique was something McQueen did best and this is a prime example of his extraordinary work.
Throw on your cape and release the inner wild child. Long Live McQueen.
