Am I a typewriter?                          Am I a radio?

       A clock?                                    A rosegarden?

An armoured medieval knight?

The Fractal Art of Alexander McQueen

AMQ unfolds the topography of the female body into plain graphic lines, then he mirrors, rotates and repeats these lines in a geometric way. The resulted graphic is like the pattern of the snake-skin. He puts this graphic on a thin layer of a membrane-like material, and creates the dress-pattern with the contouring lines of the graphic. Then he puts this dress on the female body like a thin second layer.

Perfect fractal way of thinking!

Alexander McQueen Structuralism

AMQ breaks down the female body into characteristic parts, then these parts get their special treatment with different patterns and materials. The dress is put together of these different structures. The stable trunk gets a leather armour, with cups for the softly moving breasts. The legs' movement is made possible with a basket-shape skirt braced with metal structure.

R.I.P AMQ!
