REWIND: Alexander McQueen S/S 1999

As Spring is approaching I thought it was time to look back a few years on any major couture shows to find inspiration on the upcoming months ahead of us. I came across my favorite designer Alexander McQueen and found what is probably written down in fashion history on one of the most meaningful and amazing shows ever. Spring/Summer of 1999 was probably one of his best. At the finale of this show, model Shalom Harlow walks out in a simple white tube dress and literally gets a "print" painted on her. I believe this started a whole new era in fashion and probably back then and still now changes the way designers, artists, or anyone looks at things. Where model meets machine. 

In the beginning of this video it features a fall/winter show but you'll figure out what I'm talking about. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN=GREATNESS.
