Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 2007
Taking Handel's Sarabande (dance) in Stanley Kubrick's 'Barry Lindon' as the inspiration for the show and the setting of an old Circus Space. McQueen's presentation became a collaboration of music and fashion, staged in the round, with a dusty, decadent chandelier as the central point of the deserted set.
As the grand chandelier rose to start the show, illuminating the wooden floor with dappled light, the chamber orchestra started with a harpsichord solo, and the first model entered the catwalk. The orchestra played throughout the catwalk presentation, a series of sarabande's specifically composed for the show.
