There is a saying in the fashion industry: Chanel gave women elegance, Yves Saint Laurent gave women strength, and Alexander McQueen gave women armor.
Let's take a look at McQueen's 1998 Joan autumn and winter series, and let's explore what kind of women's armor in McQueen's heart. During the Anglo-French War, Joan of Arc was enlightened by an angel and gained military power to lead France to recover lost territory. Later, she was captured by the British and burned to death as a heretic. cursed woman. Joan of Arc was kidnapped by aliens. The modern (hairstyle) plump Joan of Arc put on a man's armor, but looked more sexy, with a suit with a waist and a long skirt, and back slits to set off the curves.
Avant-garde and varied, dark and powerful.
Tell a story with a show.
With the elements of water and fire, life is like the weather, capricious.

He fully showed his feelings in his show, whether it was good or bad, bitter or hopeful, irritable or empty, joy or despair, McQueen found beauty in the darkest and most depraved places in the world, he was full of drugs, Growing up in the East End of London with prostitutes and guns, his father was an alcoholic, and he was sexually assaulted by his brother-in-law when he was young, but McQueen received a lot of love and support from his mother Joyce. He said that he was afraid that his mother would leave earlier than him. Unfortunately, The thing is, he chose to commit suicide after his mother died.
At the end of the catwalk, the model was surrounded by a fire, the fiery flames set off the poignant beauty of her death, pale skin, blood-colored pupils, I thought of Joan of Arc, I thought of Agnès Soleil. McQueen once said: It is very important to look at death, it is a part of life, it is a sad thing, both melancholy and romantic, because death has the opportunity to provide space for new life, just like the Buddhist scriptures. Said life and death, cause and effect reincarnation. Death is the absence of the present body and the awakening of the ancient past.
I still remember the words on his green tombstone: Love is not seen with the eyes, but felt with the heart.
Time passes, we wait alone in the river of time, and where are you? Even if we are small, we can go forward, because beauty never ends.
