This weekend I watched McQueen! MY GODDDDD! What an incredible film! I was so interested in the amount of research McQueen would put into his collections, it was inspiring and something that I can sometimes not realise the importance of. I also loved his carelessness when it came to just chopping clothing up to create something completely new. I am renowned for chopping clothing (to my mums horror, “have you just cut that!”, she says) so it was interesting to see how he uses it as a design technique.
The film also made me think about characterisation and how the model, actor or actress wearing the garment is such an important piece in the puzzle when it comes to how they wear the garment. One outfit on one person can look so different on another.
