Alexander McQueen | Spring/Summer 2015 | Backstage Film

http://www.alexandermcqueen.com - A backstage film created during the Alexander McQueen Women's Spring/Summer 2015 runway show Two light boxes suspended above a black lacquered wood floor are dominated by Marc Quinn’s painted bronze orchids. The collection is inspired by a personal and treasured collection of antique kimonos featuring Geisha and blossom pink, lantern red, black and in engineered silk jacquards, knits, chiffon, organza and leather. Kimono florals and kite prints feature alongside marquetry leather, silk embroidered cherry blossom and hand painted petals. Banded black, silver and pink snakeskin sandals with lacquered soles hover above a Perspex heel. Hair is Samurai inspired, tied in a high ponytail and fresh faces are cast in black lacquer frames.
