Historical and Cultural References: Alexander McQueen

Alexander Mcqueen takes inspiration from a huge variety of historical cultures, art, textiles, film, make-up, film and their techniques and design processes. Every one of his runway shows were a theatrical production, tributing the design work of many eras in time. A lot of his collections referenced the dark, dismal melancholic Victorian Gothic era. When I think of the Victorian era I see dark clothing, winter, taxidermy, death, the plague and poetry. McQueen embodies this, often in his Autumn / Winter collections, using exaggerated Victorian styles silhouettes and big hats, bird feathers, dramatically white make up and skulls.

Historical - Victorian Gothic, 1800s Cultural - Edgar Alan Poe Social - sadness, death, social class Environmental - dark, decaying, victorian london streets

Following this will be pictures of how the Victorian Gothic era has inspired McQueen throughout the years and my essay on how historical art movements inspired Alexander McQueen.

There are a lot of fashion designers who are looking for uniqueness in futuristic and contemporary designs. In contrast to this, Alexander McQueen is recognised as being original and outrageous for looking back in time. This iconically British designer was passionate about art and more often than not applied historical fine art, print making, makeup and sculpture to his designs. McQueen is inspired by a huge spectrum of art and historical art movements ranging from renaissance paintings from as early as the mid 1400’s to cinema in the mid 1900’s. “Angels and Demons”, McQueen’s Autumn/Winter collection, is the very last collection he started to create before committing suicide in 2010. This collection takes great inspiration from artists from the 16th Century, using art movements such as the Renaissance and Classicism which depicts classical, religious scenes. One piece of art to mention in particular is titled The Temptation of St Anthony (1501) by Hieronymus Bosch. This triptych painting depicts the mental and spiritual torments endured by St Anthony throughout his lifetime. Each third shows unending scenes of demonic debauchery, the temptation of luxury and violence. In his Angels and Demons collection, McQueen created a few different garments inspired by the medieval artisanal textiles of the 16th century, like gloves and traditional style dresses with a modern twist of using the painting, which was digitally printed, blown up over the fabric of the garments. One garment in particular is a traditional corseted dress showing a specific scene of Saint Anthony being assisted by three others crossing a bridge, in a state of complete exhaustion, after being beaten by the devil. Here he uses deep, blood reds, earthy browns and black, portraying darkness and hell on earth. In choosing this piece of art, with its torment and darkness, it is argued that McQueen was trying to reflect his own turmoil. This unfinished collection was a way to free his mind and open up to the unending sense of suffering he was feeling at the time.

In contrast to this, he also created more garments in his Angels and Demons collection depicting another triptych by Bosch titled The Garden of Earthly Delights (1510.) These three panels show the story of Adam and Eve and the sacrament of matrimony, a dreamlike portrayal of earth, and humans succumbing to temptations in hell. Although there is still a dark undertone in the last third of this triptych, a skirt McQueen has designed portrays a scene of earth with naked women and animals playing whimsically and un-shamefully in a fountain. Here he uses a multitude of bright colours, including grassy greens, crystal-like blues and pale pinks, portraying a glimmer of hope and regeneration. The word ‘renaissance,’ in French, means ‘rebirth,’ this could be what McQueen was trying to do with his name in the fashion industry. This collection is unlike any other he had designed before. The colours he used were very different to any other of his past collections which often held colour schemes of black and grey. It is very clear that he has captured both of the paintings’ opulence and embodied that into his creations with the use of his colour scheme and the use of the paintings themselves printed onto the fabric. There is a contradiction of emotions demonstrated through the scenes depicted in this collection, from the chaos shown through The Temptation of Saint Anthony to the tranquility of The Garden of Earthly Delights, quite like the contradictions between angels and demons.   

Alexander McQueen also took inspiration from the British Arts and Crafts movement of the 19th century. William Morris’ designs were typical of the arts and crafts movement which paved the way for traditionally British looking wallpaper and fabrics, featuring repeated images of traditional English flowers in muted polychromatic colour schemes. Both McQueen and his fabric designer Simon Ungless loved the designs by William Morris and created fabric using continuous floral shapes which was the leading fabric in his Autumn / Winter 1995 collection “Highland Rape.” This collection featured torn lace dresses made in traditional Scottish textile design. The not-so-perfectly symmetrical and intricate designs by Morris were digitally printed onto sheer lace fabric, this was manipulated and ripped, representing violence and to show the intimate skin of the models. The Highland Rape collection was wildly misinterpreted by the media, denouncing McQueen as a misogynist who was glorifying rape. Whereas, in actual fact, McQueen used the torn fabrics of famous British designers in traditional Scottish textile design to signify England’s violation with Scotland.     

After McQueen’s death in 2010, the continually innovative designer shocked once again with the help of the brands current creative director, Sarah Burton. Through the grief of losing Alexander McQueen, Burton reincarnated the heritage of the man and the label, designing an Autumn/Winter 2011 collection and the wedding dress for the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. This collection took influences from the fine art paintings of the Victorian Gothic period. One painting in particular titled Critics in Costume (1880) by John Callcott Horsley. This painting skilfully portrays two women who are dressed very regally in white silk dresses, completely covered in white embellishments. One dress in particular is almost an entire copy of a dress in the painting with its pale colours but intricate design and embellishment, transcending harsh regality and soft femininity, a perfect way to style royalty on their wedding day.   

In 1996 Alexander McQueen designed a collection for Givenchy titled “Romantic Exoticism.” When referring to the collection, McQueen once said “As a designer you go through every nook and cranny to find inspiration. I get more inspiration from the personality of a region than the actual ethnic origin.” This collection’s inspiration derived from many, many different cultures around the world ranging from, Africa, China, India and Turkey. Japan’s traditional fine art was a particularly significant inspiration in the collection. Magpie on Viburnum Branch by Genga is a painting of a bird sitting on a tree branch from the historical, traditional, Japanese art movement Muromachi (1336-1573.) This painting features on the arms of a kimono McQueen designed in the Romantic Exoticism collection. The painting was embroidered onto the fabric of the arms, so when the arms were folded you could view the whole image as one. McQueen believed that “Fashion can be really racist,” so by incorporating a traditional painting to the garment, he also wanted to use elements of traditional Japanese embroidery and craftsmanship to really appreciate the craft of Japanese textiles and fine art working together to create something breathtaking.    

McQueen’s Spring/Summer 1995 collection ‘The Birds’ is a complete mix up of design, patter and colour but complies with one conjunctive theme of birds. Not only was Alexander McQueen inspired by historical fine art, he was also inspired by graphic design. Maurits Cornelis Escher created optical illusion designs based on reflection, symmetry and geometry. His drawings were very dark, scary and confusing. McQueen adapted many of Escher’s pieces, for this collection including drawings such as Day and Night, Sky and Water I and Liberation, which depicted continuous patterns of birds. These drawings were digitally manipulated onto the fabric to create a geometric houndstooth design that grew in to images of flying birds. This collection really elaborated on McQueen’s eye for art and fashion working together, creating extraordinary fabric designs with the use of graphic design.   

The Spring/Summer 1995 collection also derived inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock’s film The Birds which was created in 1963. Alfred Hitchcock was an English film director and is widely regarded as one of the most influential filmmakers in cinematic history. This film depicted a world infested with killer birds. McQueen was inspired and created a beautiful dress, which was a similar pale blue colour that Tippi Hedren wore in the film, with a typical 1960’s silhouette. To give the dress a McQueen twist, the neckline is adorned with real bird feathers and it looks like the dress is being devoured by the bird. ‘The Birds’ collection is a fantastic example of how many different art movements Alexander McQueen was inspired by.    

Through my research I have learned that every detail of McQueen’s collections, from when he was in university to after his death, yield connotations of destruction which he portrays through his love of fine art and textile design. He has purposefully explored a vast array of historical art movements and by doing so has given him the title of the world's most prolifically innovative and outlandish designers.
