Alexander McQueen Angel Booties F/W 2010
by Yaya.
Alexander McQueen said he liked to send his women to war. His aesthetic was oftentimes violent and filled with war imagery. According to Showstudio, his last collection showed a more fragile side of him, one in which he depicted women as angels. This is supposed to be a more mature approach to the subject. Personally, I believe that depicting women as warriors and angels are two opposite sides of the same worldview. Two sides that a mature point of view would reconcile and transcend.
This booties however, are the zenith of opulence, and one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen so far.
