It’s Only a Game
Alexander McQueen is known for his clothing construction—in particular, the impeccable tailoring and precise execution of architectonic forms—as well as the elaborate sets he uses in his collection presentations. McQueen’s ability to combine contrasting qualities—such as hard and soft, rigid and fluid, violent and fragile—in the same garment is evident in the molded leather bustier and the way a fringe of metal pins completes the soft bell-like form and quilted and embroidered surface of this dress from his It’s Only a Game collection.
