McQueens work shaped the course of fashion and how others viewed fashion. From looking at his work we can learn the context in which he broke the rules and became well respected. This tells me so much about how the consumer also reacts to fashion. That in society, we as fashion consumers do in fact follow certain rules. One McQueen is most notable for breaking is his iconic ‘bumster’ trousers, which kickstarted a decade long trend of super low rise trousers. This is something the 00s is now known for. If I can dissect those barriers put up by society, and relate this to modern art context of the cultural world and it’s reactions at the moment, it’s very possible I could create that next idea.
