Trunk Show

Alexander McQueen Trunk Show Autmn/winter 2010-2011

A French contact of Alexander McQueen showed trunk show at a boutique in Downtown Beirut. The Collection was inspired by the Byzantin Art; the carvings of Grinling Gibbons, and Old Master paintings, works by Jean Fouquet, Sandro Botticelli, Stephan Lochner, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes, Jean Hey and Heironymus Bosch. 
The art pieces works were captured digitally, woven into jacquards or embroidered and engineered to fit each garment.

The key media and VIPs attended the event and there was a strong presence of key social feminine figures along with Suzi Miquilini, Sales Executive at Alexander McQueen. Female figures admired every unique piece.

The illusion of two pieces is achieved by the draping and folding of single garments designed to discreetly reveal delicate gold and silver bullion embroideries on sleeves.DSC 2587 199x300 Alexander McQueen Trunk Show in Downtown Beirut
