Alexander McQueen garment illustration

For another illustration I experimented with the inspiration of Alexander McQueen's work. using elements form his work to create a garment incorporating my own ideas as well.

I looked at images from the internet and books to refer to, when designing my inspired illustration of a Alexander McQueen inspired dress.

I found that when researching into McQueen's work he doesn't just create garments and clothing designs, he also creates accessories like shoes and hats.

I found a heavily detailed images of a McQueen designed hat accessory, with the use of swirl patterns. which reminds me of some of Oskar Schlemmers work which is featured the the ballet (of a looped wire dress).

Therefore I used the artist research and images collected of the Alexander McQueen hat and Oskar Schlemmers looped wire dress to create a dress illustration, with the use of wire swirls and loops around the neck and solder with the same idea and patterns used in the hat accessory.

I feel that this illustration has let me design a dress heavily inspired and reflected back to the artist work which has influenced all my illustration. but I wanted to incorporate an element of the artist work through out one of my designs and I feel I betrayed this element well.

Even if I may not use this illustration to create my garment I still feel the overall effect of the illustration looks good and is noticeably inspired by Alexander McQueen work.
