V&A Fashion and Textile Curators discuss three groundbreaking shoe designs from Alexander McQueen’s final catwalk collection, ‘Plato’s Atlantis’ (Spring/Summer 2010) Cheap Alexander McQueen .
Three shoe designs by Alexander McQueen
Widely acclaimed as his finest collection, McQueen’s final runway presentation, Plato’s Atlantis, referenced the legendary island described by the Greek philosopher, which sank into the sea – predicting a future world in which humanity would need to evolve in order to survive. McQueen incorporated cinematic references to sci-fi and fantasy films like Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979) and developed a host of new shapes, including the now-iconic Armadillo boot – an entirely new shoe form, without apparent reference to the natural anatomy of the foot; the 3D printed Alien shoe, with its biomorphic, spine-like design, suggesting a sinister combination of biology and mechanics; and the Titanic boot, whose articulated heel and tarnished metal rivets evoke the doomed ocean liner after which it is named.

Now, we know McQueen may not be every one’s cup of tea. His ideas and inspirations are very avant-garde, and futuristic, but we consider him one of the best designers out today. For McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection, he certainly didn’t shy away from his outlandish ideas, and created a collection that is more suited for the crew of a shape ship, rather than the fashion elite.

His bold prints, extreme tailored pieces, and sky-high shoes were a complete contradiction to other shows at Paris Fashion Week, that were more subdued. However, Alexander McQueen’s ideas are exciting, invigorating and fresh, and that is why his followers always come back for more.
