Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2008
Using the motif of a Bird of Prey as a starting point, the concept of McQueen's S/S 08 show was to interpret the bird into a light sculpture, bringing it to life and creating a backdrop to the collection.
McQueen collaborated with Directors Warren Du Prez and Nick Thorton-Jones, to create an animated film of light, bringing the vast metal wing sculpture to life. As the film developed throughout the show, the winged Pegasus like creature transformed into a colourful butterfly, forming an array of colours behind the models.
The show and collection were a dedication to Isabella Blow.
