Njengoba umqondisi wezobuciko u-Sarah Burton esahambile ngekhefu lokuyoteta ngemva kokuzalwa kwengane yakhe yesithathu, ilebula yakwa-Alexander McQueen yahlehla umgwaqo ukuze yethule iqoqo layo lakamuva lezingubo zabesilisa ngochungechunge lokuqokwa kwabantu okusondelene kanye nokulandelana kwezithombe zomkhathi ezithwetshulwe nguJulia Hetta. "Ngeke uwathole embukisweni," kusho u-Harley Hughes, inhloko kaMcQueen yezingubo zabesilisa, wezithombe zikaHetta ezipendiwe.
Ubungeke futhi uthole lelo zinga lokusebenzisana, nabaqambi noma nezingubo ngokwazo. Yenze impikiswano efanelekile yezinye izindlela zokubonisa i-catwalk—leyo ezwakale ifike ngesikhathi, uma kubhekwa ukuxutshwa kwamanje kwezethulo zendlela yabesilisa nabesifazane ezivela kwabaningi besikhathi somkhiqizo (i-FYI—Abameli be-McQueen bathi ilebula izobe isiboniswa ngekwindla ka-2017). Futhi izingubo zabesilisa zikaMcQueen zibhekisiswa kabanzi, njengoba ukuhlola kuvame ukunikezela ngemininingwane efihliwe umzila wezindiza ongakwazi ukuyigwaza. Kuleli qoqo, leyo mininingwane yayihlanganisa unqenqema olugoqiwe lwamabomu lwezifekethiso zegolide ezihlobisa amajezi namabhantshi, agqugquzelwa umbono wezingubo ezingobo yomlando ezishwabene futhi zicindezelekile ngenxa yobudala, ukuvuselelwa kwezintandokazi zekhabethe elidala.
Bekunomqondo wokujwayela leli qoqo—okokuqala, laqhubeka ngendlela efanayo nezingubo zabesilisa zeMcQueen's Fall, zisuka emgwaqweni ziye komunye futhi zinikeza ukuthunga okucijile kosuku nenqwaba yezingubo zakusihlwa ezihlotshiswe ngokujabulisayo, ezihlanganiswe namateku amhlophe umuzwa wesimanje. Ngokusobala, eceleni kwezingcezu ezihlotshisiwe, ukukhahlela kukaMcQueen kuyinto yokuqala ethengiswayo uma efika ezitolo. Kepha iphinde yasho umthungo ocebile wokuthunga amaNgisi wakudala, wezingubo zamasosha ezihlotshiswe nge-braid kanye nengubo engcolile yesikhulu esibaluleke kakhulu ekusindeni kwekhulu lama-21 kwe-Savile Row, lapho u-Lee McQueen osemusha waqala ukufunda umsebenzi wakhe.
U-Hughes wachaza kabanzi endabeni: "Insizwa yama-'60s, e-London, ihambile futhi iyocwilisa e-India yobukhosi," esho. Ngakho-ke amasudi asikwe kahle, nge-brocade e-crunchy paisley enophawu lukaMnu. Fish, umenzi wesudu wengqondo 'ongama-60s, eceleni kwamajazi afekethisiwe ahlotshisiwe, amashifu ahuzukile, kanye nezintamo zikasilika ezidandyish ezisuselwe kuzitayela zakudala ze-Turnbull & Asser. . Bobabili kanye noMnu. Fish—ngenxa yazo zonke izici zakhe—babengamaNgisi ngokuqhubekayo, njengoMcQueen uqobo lwakhe. Ngempela, naphezu kokuzulazula kwethonya, imiphumela ibuyela eLondon. Kungenzeka ukuthi i-Raj ibe nomthelela ezinhlelweni zikamaharani zamatshe ayigugu okunamathisela, ngokwesibonelo, kodwa agcina exhumene nobucwebe bobuso obufanele isizini edlule—i-clip-on, esikhundleni sokubhoboza izihlathi zamamodeli, kodwa nokho ngokugqamile i-punk in. ukuzwa. Ngisho nalapho amavelvethi agayiwe ephenduka i-turmeric ecebile, u-Hughes akakwazanga ukuzibamba kodwa waphawula ukuthi ayesephambukile “ezweni lase-Keith Richards.”
Izithombe ezinhle zebhuku lokubuka lika-Hetta ngokwazo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ziveza umuzwa oshisayo, oshiswe yilanga we-Mumbai engenamoya eminyakeni engama-50 edlule, ibenyezela njengoboya obukhazimulayo. Kuyamangaza ukuthi, kwadutshulwa ekhoneni leMcQueen HQ ebhokisini lengilazi eClerkenwell yaseLondon, kwasizakala isimo sezulu saleli dolobha esinesimo sezulu esingenasizini sikaJuni ukuze simelane nezwekazi. Awusoze wakuthola lokho embukisweni wesitimela, impela.
