A frantic follower of fashion both past and present I couldn't help but share one of the greatest moments in fashion with you. Throwback to Spring 1999, Alexander McQueen created memorable show 'Number 13' using model Shalom Harlow as a human art piece. As the show came to a close the model revolved on a circular platform and two electronic robots sprayed black and yellow paint at the white sartorial canvas leaving the fashion packed crowd shocked and stunned. Shalom Harlow trained as a ballerina and as the industrial machines spray-paint the dress she tries to defend herself creating a drama piece within its self. After watching this show many times I still get goosebumps, a piece of fashion history was made. This was one of McQueen's earlier shows, for the rest of his career he aimed high and created more jaw dropping moments just like this one.
Alexander McQueen dared to be different, creating shows that were meant to be remembered.
