Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen is always known for his extravagant clothing designs and catwalks, he puts on a very good show. One of his catwalks, (2013/14), portrayed some incredible looks inspired by Elizabethan times.

The models had their hair up tight to the head, then they had this beautiful beaded cage like headpiece covering the face which reminds me very similarly to the Elizabethan Caul that women used to wear with the beaded criss cross design.

The hair underneath was also very detailed, the whole head was covered in little very tight ringlets  made by the hair and stuck down keeping the shape of Elizabethan hair but adding a modern twist although that little hair design was seen in Elizabethan times.

I really love this design and the modern twist put into this to keep it up to date, I love the concept of having the caul like headpiece over the whole face incaging the model.
