Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2007

This look from the Spring/Summer 2007 collection is McQueen’s take on a Victorian bride. Though she is clad in white with clear bridal suggestions, the antique quality of her veil, the ashen colour of which seems to coat the face like a film of dust accumulated over years of neglect, suggests a general sentiment of something sinister lurking beneath the bridal veil. Something, perhaps, to the tune of Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker’s Romanticism.
