Brava, Liv! This was an excellent article. I'd read the references to the Jacobite rebellion intending to be the inspiration for this show, but as you note, having the women modeling the clothes appearing to have been raped...yeah, that always left a sour taste. I also admire Lee McQueen's work, but I think this attempt was misguided. Interesting that not a single piece went into production from this show!
Thank you so much Sheila! I always appreciate when you comment 🖤I feel the same way, McQueen is my favorite designer to learn about because he was such a complicated person, which was evident in his design from the beginning to end of his career.
