Both wanted to revolutionize fashion in a way no one had in decades. They shook the establishment out of its bourgeois, minimalist stupor with daring, sexy designs. They turned out landmark collections in mesmerizing, theatrical shows that retailers and critics still gush about and designers continue to reference. Their approach to fashion was wildly different--Galliano began as an illustrator, McQueen as a Savile Row tailor. Galliano led the way with his sensual bias-cut gowns and his voluptuous hourglass tailoring, which he presented in romantic storybook-like settings. McQueen, though nearly ten years younger than Galliano, was a brilliant technician and a visionary artist who brought a new reality to fashion, as well as an otherworldly beauty. For his first official collection at the tender age of twenty-three, McQueen did what few in fashion ever achieve: he invented a new silhouette, the Bumster. 520 $a Analyzes the ends of two preeminent fashion designers to demonstrate how they were casualties of the war between art and commerce, chronicling their rise and achievements while sharing insights into how art has suffered at the hands of economic demands. 600 10 $a McQueen, Alexander, $d 1969-2010. 600 10 $a Galliano, John. 650 0 $a Fashion designers $z London $z London $v Biography. 650 0 $a Fashion designers. 650 0 $a Fashion $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Costume design $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 7 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231003012831.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204080021.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110061936.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502030924.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20150304010435.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20150304010234.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20150303011254.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=44DF24D8C17311E49647BAD4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
