Alexander McQueen SS2069 – Plato’s Atlantis

I had to. I could not resist keeping this video from reaching our readers. This combination of set design and production, the introduction video, and the ambience created by the music just blew my mind. And then came the clothes and shoes. Straight out of some reptile living in some distant planet in the year 2069, the prints are otherworldly. From a designer’s point of view, it does not get any better than this. McQueen has finally joined other designers and ventured in computer generated graphics and prints, and the result was mind-blowing.

The video was set to stream live on SHOWstudio.com, Nick Knight’s studio site. In this short film, you can see Raquel Zimmermann, naked, snakes, sand… great images in tune with the collection. Visual and sound go hand in hand.

Can we talk about the shoes? I don’t know whether to call them shoes, or sculptures, or aliens, or whatever it is that this man thought of (or was on) when coming up with those. Who can we see walking the streets of Paris with these on?

Hope it tickled your brain as much as it tickled mine.
