2.
1969 – 10th February 2010
British Fashion Designer
Committed suicide
Founded his own label and named it after himself
He achieved four British Designer of the Year
awards (1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003)
On 16 February 2010, pop musician and
friend Lady Gaga performed an acoustic, jazz
rendition of her hit single "Telephone" and segued
into "Dance in the Dark" at the 2010 Brit Awards.
3. Lady Gaga wrote her hit song ‘Born
This Way’ as McQueen ‘channelled
it through her from beyond the
grave’.
4. McQueen’s light fabric dress for Lady Gaga
reminds me of Marilyn Monroe’s iconic
dress. This is because of the delicate
movement and petal/flower shape. The
difference between the two is that Monroe’s
dress in the wind was made to seem flirty,
whereas McQueen’s gives off an impression
of a butterfly or Goddess: rich colours, and
fabric covering most of the body.
5. Celebrities can be seen as Goddesses
or Gods, or royalty.
Here, Lady Gaga is dressed in an armour of
gold and feathers. The golden armour is highly
decorated like what you would expect to see on
clothing and furniture for royalty.
Has it become normal
for celebs to be
decorated in metal
clothing?
6. They have also used a pale colour
scheme.
On the official McQueen
However there is suggestions of
website, they’ve been
producing many different bringing in odd/new structures for
styles of garments, but the garments, that refer to the strange
shape of Lady Gaga’s outfits.
reoccurring one is skulls:
there is a collection of
skull prints.
Death?
