Presented in an industrial warehouse space and with a 30ft catwalk illuminated by a bright, narrow strip of light, Gianni Versace, Azzedine Alaia, Guy Bourdin, Grace Jones and Jean-Paul Goude have all been cited by McQueen as inspirational where this power-driven collection is concerned. Every model cast is 5’11” or over and the emphasis is on extreme glamour and gloss, on clothing as the ultimate metropolitan armour. Body-conscious black tailoring features ultra-short skirts, legs long and lean as a fashion illustration and acres of cleavage, Lurex and leather fitted like a second skin, visible underwear worn with sheer body-stockings and, of course, the requisite killer heels are all aimed at an unswervingly confident woman who wears power with pride.
