Alexander McQueen is known for both the emotional power and raw energy of the shows as well as the romantic but determinedly contemporary nature of the collections. Integral to the McQueen culture is the juxtaposition between contrasting elements: fragility and strength, tradition and modernity and fluidity and severity. His collections combine an in-depth working knowledge of: British tailoring, the fine workmanship of the French Haute Couture atelier and the impeccable finish of Italian manufacturing.

That made me think of Yves Klein’s ‘Anthropometries’! …robotic, and clothed version.
alexander mcqueen did this one runway show where the girls’ clothing robotically changed while they were walking down the runway… ill try to find the clip
McQueen is hilarious. i assume he sells those dresses like that after they’ve been mutilated by the machines? it’s so theatrical!
and he probably sells them for a shit load of money
