10 Years Ago, Alexander McQueen’s Plato’s Atlantis Show Imagined Fashion’s Future

that have personal significance to our editors.Alexander McQueen’s spring 2010 collection

, titled Plato’s Atlantis, it’s easy to read the show as a forebear of fashion’s streaming revolution, a herald of biomorphic and biophilic fashion, and the progenitor of our obsession with really quite bizarre footwear. Hindsight also tells us that this transfixing, monolithic runway show was McQueen’s last.

So about that McQueen show. When it debuted on the runway in October of 2009, it was advertised as the first live-streamed fashion show. Hosted on Nick Knight’s ShowStudio platform, the stream was revolutionary in that it brought one of the most cerebral of fashion world heroes to the masses. It has also become legendary—and maybe a bit infamous—for its promotion by Lady Gaga, who directed her Little Monsters to the stream, thus crashing the ShowStudio site.

McQueen’s garments themselves were a hybridization of human and animal forms, turning snakeskins and luminescent sequins into garments suggestive of a more evolved wardrobe that could, perhaps, serve a functional purpose. Darwinians would argue that fashion should have caught up by now, turning McQueen’s propositions for amphibian dresses into something more feasible.

McQueen This is my go to video when I need creative inspo. The show from start to finish is absolute perfection. From then music, the lights, the weird looking alien-like models to well crafted clothes and shoes. The transition from land to underwater is mindblowing.

McQueen Só vem a cabeça a Gaga

McQueen i know damn well those shoes uncomfortable.

McQueen Up to now and to me : the above show is the number 1 in this century.

McQueen Why does the future ALWAYS have to be scifi type stuff? Those shoes...I guess they don't run in the future.
