Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 2010

Alexander McQueen. (2011). Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2010 (Platos Atlantis Spécial Edition) . [Online Video]. 23 August. Available from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_2bBiAZgXk. [Accessed: 10 December 2014].

 The Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 2010 show features out-of-this-world hair and make up designs. The hair promotes structured plaits in a crown-antenna hybrid shape. The make up features prosthetics to accentuate the cheekbones and forehead, making it more pointed and chiselled. I noticed similarities between my low tech anthropological designs and the make up designs on the models' with the wax over the cheekbones. It is almost like the texture of the hair has been put on the cheekbone wax pieces. It was really interesting to see the use of prosthetics in the fashion industry, as for a lot of people when they think of special effects they go straight to film and television, but it shows just how versatile these methods of special effects and prosthetic application that we are learning can be.
