After watching Dior and I, I added many fashion documentaries to the film list in one breath. McQueen's is no longer a brand story style analysis, but a personal discussion of this fashion genius.

I can't imagine how darkly this lonely genius had to go to become Edgar Allan Poe in the fashion industry. Many of McQueen's works seem to be closely related to violence, full of strong visual impact, straightforward and distinct sense of tearing, extremely provocative, decadent, and sharp presentation is a cruelty that breaks the expectations of many people, and also breaks the shackles of traditional aesthetics. rebirth.

From the famous scene of Highland Rape, I realized the irreplaceable dialectical philosophy of McQueen's work. In an interview, he responded to the media's reprimands and doubts, saying, "The original intention of this show is to show the public what women did not give to men, but took away from them. This is rape." Sober in the world, in one sentence, It directly named the root cause of gender antagonism in today's society. Many of the things that the feminist movement is fighting for are things that men themselves never realize they have taken away. McQueen uses a violent aesthetic that is almost visually intrusive to reveal and tear it up to the audience, expressing this violent seizure of male power in shredded skirts and tops, ultra-low-end trousers, and models swaying unsteadily. The pace is a powerful silent indictment of depression, gloom, sadness, and anger.
