Fashions inspired by Darwin - Alexander McQueen in London

Alexander McQueen's 12-inch boots on Paris catwalk were not made for walking... | Mail Online: 12-inch platform shoes were part of a collection inspired by Charles Darwin’s The Origin Of The Species. But the fantasy fauna inspired fashion didn't end there. Models with their hair teased into devil-like horns, strutted the catwalk in minidresses decorated with all manner of colourful, elaborate skins. Ruffled hemlines were frilled to resemble feathers, and vibrant fabrics were printed to resemble amphibian-like breastplates. The high-tech show set then morphed into a prehistoric underwater scene, lending something of an otherworldly feel.
