'The Widows of Culloden' Alexander McQueen's 2006 Autumn Winter Collection featuring the original hologram finale look displayed on Kate Moss.
With this collection McQueen revisits the subject matter of The Highland Rape -- the show with which he made his name -- but applies to similar territory a sophistication and expertise that reflects his experience as both couturier and designer. The inspiration here is highly personal -- the designer's own heritage -- which goes at least some way towards explaining the exquisite hand-craftsmanship that goes into each piece as well, of course, as bird head-dresses and McQueen tartan.
The collection is luxurious and romantic but melancholic and even austere at the same time. The silhouette -- all nipped waists, bustles and exaggerated hip lines -- is designed to exaggerate a woman's form and each piece is unique, a one-off couture creation with emotional content intended to be handed down from generation to generation like the most precious of heirlooms.
