TOP 5 Creative Fashion Photography (NO.5)

I believe that the well respected fashion houses always offer more than pictures of the latest collection. They give us emotion, ideals, standards, dreams. In every picture we have a story that we can all imagine, whether we are customers, fashion critics or simple viewers.

NO.5: A great example would be Alexander McQueen.

Born in London, he left school at the age of 16 and he was offered an apprenticeship at the traditional Saville Row tailors Anderson and Shephard and then at neighbouring Gieves and Hawkes, both masters in the technical construction of clothing. There he learned the craftmanship of clothes and developed his sense of style. After he moved to theatrical costumiers and learned to create a story for each piece of garment, he became one of the most appreciated designers of the world in less than 10 years.
In my opinion a great show is spring summer 2008 women’s wear: La Dame Blue http://alexandermcqueen.com/int/en/corporate/archive2008%20%20ss%20%20womens.aspx

His collections, although special in their own way, are greatly presented through powerful visual photography. His catalogues are uniquely created, and display “things that people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex: things we all think about but don’t bring to the forefront.”
Below you can see what I mean. These are 2002 september catalogue images made by photographer David Lachapelle. I intentionally presented these images because I love Lachapelle’s work in general and I will, for sure, dedicate some posts in the future.
