Lee McQueen was born into an ordinary family in Scotland in 1969. In 1987, at the age of 17, Lee went to Savile Row as an apprentice and started his torn artistic life. On February 11, 2010, Lee Alexander McQueen passed away. Back in the March 16, 1992 "Jack the Ripper Following His Victims" graduation show. Li has conveyed his art concept of flesh and blood, the perfect combination of destruction and tradition, and the combination of aesthetics and violence. Then to the "Highland Rape" series on March 13, 1995. He expresses his inner expression of feminism with the eyes of a judge, combined with the experience of domestic violence and sexual assault since childhood, and presents women in a way of being "violated". The powerful visual impact is instead doing his best. Highlight femininity. It's just from a male perspective (this is exactly the same as Mr. Dior and Mr. Pirate. Sure enough, genius is destined to be genius, genius does not need to be taught, genius only needs to be discovered) shocking but gentle. On January 19, 1997, Li's haute couture debut in charge of Givenchy kicked off at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. This haute couture show called "Looking for the Golden Fleece" pushed him to the forefront of public opinion. He brought the banter and hyperbole that belonged to London to Paris, which was avant-garde but most fundamentally elegant. When spittle and praise came over him like a surging tide. It was as if he had seen the signs of his last tragic end full of regrets. So the whole documentary pulled me into the memory of this great artist who I admire very much from here. Then on February 27, 1997, he returned to London, to the Alexander McQueen show named after the love of his life Issie. "It's A Jungle Out There. "The jungle is dense outside. The contrast between the two shows, indeed, the place outside London is a jungle full of thorns, this is the real McQueen. It belongs to a man full of rebellion and self-destruction, hideous and hesitant, The world of crazy and unruly but gentle and beautiful shy boy. Who said he was a bad boy? He is a big boy full of warmth. As he said, fashion itself is flashy. When the documentary tells about his robot scene The world-famous work of spray painting. I couldn't help the tears in my eyes, I seemed to see his rebellion, his confrontation with this flashy world. Can't remember the model's name, but she can feel it every time she spins Li's heart was torn until the robots on both sides started to ink jets. At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of rupture. When everything was released, his madness and gentleness, heat and indifference, the innate light lit up the world The later "Worth" and "The Widow of Culloden" watched him step by step toward closure, pressure, public opinion from the outside world, and too many things pushed him into the abyss. "Talent is a splendid thorn at the bottom of the valley, piercing the mundane. , but also pierce the peace and joy of I. " Until Blow passed away, his beloved, who had been with him from the very beginning, left, that "Ms. Quiet Blue" commemorative series was his silent cry, which accelerated his loss from then on. I have seen many Throughout this series, from the first contact with this industry to the present, especially after understanding the story behind it, every time I see it, it is like experiencing tearing and loss, the irreversible helplessness, full of anger every time. Give yourself a long breather."Plato's Atlantis" October 6, 2009 Palais Royal in Paris. This genius left the last testament to the world. I still remember seeing this series for the first time many years ago. The "sense of technology" and "armadillo shoes" were only curious about these elements at the time. The robot appeared again, and now even if I have a deeper understanding and objective cognition of his life, this scene is still the most touching. Fang Mianmei's footsteps in the opening are firm, and every model's appearance is used every time. A step tells the retention of Li. However, when a person is too far away from this world, it is also the time when he is closest to himself. His mother's death officially announced his demise. In the end, Li left, with his tenderness and rebelliousness, his downfall and nobility, and his shocking world. I've wondered countless times why I chose this industry, albeit a trivial one. There is no answer, but I am attracted by these stories, these people. About Li, having read several biographies about him, I can't help but think of the biographies I read in college about Dior, Chanel, Yohji Yamamoto and others who devoted themselves to the art of clothing. At the same time, after watching this film, I have never felt so much fear and emptiness. I can't imagine if one day in the future, Pirate Lord, the day when avant-garde artists like Gaultier suddenly fall, they will bear an era on their shoulders. This era is when thousands of ordinary people like me were born and nurtured. , the era of endurance. Everything has an end, I just hope that the End Title of the final chapter will not come as fast as Li. I don't know why, at this moment, I am sitting on the head of the bed, running my nose constantly, dripping with tears like a spring, and angrily writing this clumsy and illogical, preface and postscript. It hasn't calmed down for a long time. ——————2019.2.17
