This photo is taken from Alexander McQueen's 2009 Fall collection where he has exagerated his designs in a magnificent and artistic way so I wanted to use these designs in my task.

McQueen made it a must to make a huge impression at this fashion show and as an intro to his designs people in the crowd wittnessed red lighting, smoke, and a runway with a huge trash heap in the middle, full of metallic pieces and salvaged props from McQueen shows of the past.

''The models had on Leigh Bowery clown-like red lips, skyscraping heels, and headpieces made of empty soda cans wrapped in black latex with umbrellas strapped to the top. But most importantly, amongst all the houndstooth and feathers, McQueen proved that in all the doom and gloom, fantasy still lives '' (quote taken from http://www.fashionologie.com/Alexander-McQueen-Fall-2009-Twisted-Fantasy-2911219?page=0,0,33#2)

 

I chose this particular design because of the headpiece I think it would be an interesting take on the Elizabethan styled dress and it would give it a modern flare. I also think it wouldn't be too overwhelming and just the right amount a style.
