What a Merry-Go-Round, Alexander McQueen F/W 2001

Flickering lights, the sound of children laughing, and pallid clown makeup was McQueen’s mise-en-scène of a carnival nightmare. The show was staged on a carousel with an eerie backdrop of giant stuffed animals, moving puppets, balloons, and ragged circus toys. When the frantic pace finally slowed down, several macabre characters emerged wearing massive ruffles, centuries-old suits, and beat up lace.
