Alexander McQueen was the British designer responsible for the introduction of the descent of trousers and the proffering of buttocks in everyday life.He also introduced the original idea of skull motifs on clothing, and a whole range of suspect symbolism that makes me surprised that the Satanists never sued for copywrite. Perhaps he just wanted us to 'in-your-face' the social taboo of death.
Alexander killed himself at forty, just as he attained, and before he could live out, his full maturity. I am sorry for his suffering.
Whatever the supposed merits for adults, I am sorry a
lso that we followed him and other fashion designers into clothing our children, from toddler to teenager, with symbols of skulls and hellfire. There isn't a childrens' clothing rack in the land that isn't infested.It starts with a cute skull for baby, it progresses to t-shirts for kid
s,masquerading as the cuddly side of horror, the garment on the right is cheerily sold as the 'Terminator skull, a popular scary looking skull, teenage boys especially like this one'. A closer examination of this character reveals that he wears the thinnest veneer of respectability...
Where is this leading to?
