Jaime Neely — July 10, 2011 — Fashion
The Alexander McQueen 2011 Fall/Winter Skull T-Shirt collection channels some seriously solemn and gloomy messages. Based on the representation of life, death and renewal, the Alexander McQueen 2011 Fall series of T-shirts boasts three different designs featuring the images of a skull. Detailed patterning and designs have been added to each of the three skulls, making for an unlikely vibrant and murky look.
The collection includes a black shirt with a tribal-inspired yellow skull, a red shirt with an orange skull and a multitoned gray-and-blue shirt featuring a similar skull. The shirts from the Alexander McQueen 2011 Fall/Winter collection look more like paintings than graphic T-shirts, demonstrating the unique creativity that went into their design.
Implications - Businesses that are willing to provide consumers with unconventional and typically taboo products will appeal to the wide range of consumers who share an interest in similar concepts. Businesses must be willing to create their own laws if they are to remain at the forefront of cutting-edge in today's industry.
