While many remember Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 show, Platos Atlantis, as the show where some models refused to walk in those huge Armadillo shoes, I remember it for the minimal beauty plastered on the faces on those who did chose to walk. Bare faces tied in with the subaquatic theme, with whited out eyebrows and lips creating an otherworldly and warped show. The elaborate hair, created by Guido Palau, felt very sci-fi, as did the prosthetic make up around the models' eyes and noses. McQueen also embraced the new, with a video of Raquel Zimmermann by Nick Knight heralding the beginning of the show, and the models every move being videoed for the world to see. Was he making a statement about where fashion was going? Was he suggesting that designers should embrace this new change in technology? I guess we'll never know.
