The new Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2012 campaign, which was shot by talented photographer David Sims, was recently unveiled and offers for some creepy imagery. The black and white photo draws more attention to its depicted scene than it does to the clothing the models are wearing.
The scene within the image is of a woman standing in a door frame before a man who is perched on the corner of a bed with his back turned to the camera. The woman is wearing an evening dress, a sexy pair of pumps and one creepy Venetian face mask. The story the photo is telling is up to the observer to decide, though it undeniably has undertones of a fetishistic nature. So if you like your fashion photography a bit more on the creepy side, then you'll love this new print from the Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2012 campaign.
