Alexander McQueen would've loved Cruella (2021)

The 2021 Disney film Cruella starring both the Emmas (Thompson and Stone) is nothing you'd expect from a Disney film. With impeccable cinematography, choice of music and scripting, the film paints a vivid image of the 70s punk-rock scene. However, the film's USP is its costumes, ranging from the subtle old-fashioned class of the Baroness, to Cruella's Madhatter+ Queen of Hearts+ David Bowie-core.

One person who I wish could've watched this is Alexander McQueen. Known for his flamboyant yet well-tailored silhouettes, the designer exemplifies the punk-rock era. One just needs to have a look at his designs for David Bowie, including the famous Union Jack trench coat. (Bowie loved the coat so much he wore it for his Earthlings album cover.) As I watched the film, outfit by outfit, I was excitedly muttering, 'McQueen! This screams McQueen!'

So here are some of the most prominent outfits featured in the film, and their McQueen counterparts.

The moth cocoon dress: This dress isn't worn by Cruella, but instead is designed and stitched by Estrella. The idea of sewing moth cocoons onto the dress is an ingenious sabotage plan. But Estrella achieves her motive without compromising on fashion. The gold metallic dress is beautifully structured, and the luminous shades of the cocoons exaggerate its silhouette. What's most striking is that it looks extremely similar to McQueen's Look 45 Jellyfish dress from his last show, Plato's Atlantis 2010 Spring/Summer.

The dress from the film.....

.....and the Jellyfish dress featuring the Armadillo boot

Look 45 consists of a dress, leggings and boots with iridescent layered paillettes, evoking scales or shells. When I witnessed the look live at an exhibit, the Centre compared the iridescence to that of the insect, the Jewel Beetle (Buprestidae).

Nonetheless, Estrella's tryst with ecology is similar to McQueen's vision of an apolocalyptic world surrounded by ecological dystopia.

This article is part one of many..

How Pornhub Helped Luis De Javier Stage an Epic NYFW Debut Sprinkled amongst the lineup of models taking the runway at Luis De Javier's first-ever New York fashion show — including Julia Fox, Lourdes Leon and Eartheater — were adult film stars like Asa Akira and Natassia Dreams.Aria Nathaniel, aka Pornhub Aria (another company ambassador and known in the industry as the "Princess of Pornhub") also walked for the brand. And seated in the front row were representatives from Pornhub including Alex Klein.Related | Violet Chachki Models Rising Designer Luis De JavierBut Pornhub's presence at the show was more than some mere one-off collaboration. The adult entertainment behemoth supported De Javier's entire show and made him showing in New York for the first time possible. They also named him as the official designer for the upcoming Pornhub Awards."Alex, she’s so incredible, and she's been so supportive," De Javier told PAPER after the show. "She just gets the brand and what I stand for."The company was equally as praiseful. “His designs embody our shared values of freedom of sexual expression and diversity highlighted throughout this provocative new collection," it said in a statement.That synergy was evident upon seeing the models come down the runway held in a former synagogue at the Angel Orensanz Foundation. Their sharp shoulders, corsetry and trains in latex, denim and distressed leather were paired with spiked masks and layered chains that conjured a sort of futuristic warrior. Patti Wilson styled the show.The connection with Pornhub and De Javier was made through PR veteran Kelly Cutrone, who encouraged the designer to come to New York for the big outing (Pornhub is one of Cutrone's clients). Her company People's Revolution also produced his show.It was a no-brainer for De Javier, who up until that point had only shown in his home base of London. "I think it was a lot of me just me letting go of this feeling that I had to stay in London, because it's where everything started," he says. "My three best friends actually moved here and then I when finally came here I got this feeling as soon as I got off that plane, it was insane."Indeed, De Javier, whose design sensibility formed during his rave years growing up in Barcelona's queer nightlife scene, was welcomed wholeheartedly by New York's own nightlife vanguard. As he tells it: "I was just like, Let's go get this American dream that everyone's been talking about for ages."Photography: Julio Feroz/ INDIGITAL.TV https://www.papermag.com/luis-de-javier-nyfw-2659454408.html

Vines grow through rotten wood, a cyclical bit of absurdity as nature reclaims that which man has stolen from it, devours moisture and humidity, fills every little crack with its slow and inevitable penetration. It used to be a home for some poor souls railing against the elements in that cruel and unforgiving height but now it was nothing more than a collapsing memory, the token of it destroyed and incapable of bringing anything to mind beside destruction and ruin.

The color black has no restriction to it, whether it be for mourning or villainy, one can don it without hinderance. The only danger, of course being that they will be seen, and it was for that express purpose that she slipped her alabaster feet into those dark leather boots and stepped out into the wet rutted mud path the town called a main street. She was no longer her mother’s child, she was some dark and cruel emissary of portents to come. To her it was no great thing, a fated path that the town had set itself upon and she with it. This place would burn.
