Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2001 Collection: Voss
To explore the perennial McQueen theme of the beauty within, a colossal padded cell constructed from two-way mirrors was erected, echoing the collection's engagement with the aesthetics of asylums and prisons. Using a Director of Photography sourced from the film industry, lighting was designed to fluctuate from making the walls seem opaque -forcing the audience to react to their own reflections- to revealing the shocking tableaux inside, an homage to photographer Joel Peter Witkin's famous odalisque.
