Alexander McQueen | Women's Autumn/Winter 2006 | Runway & Hologram Show

♦ Alexander McQueen | Autumn/Winter 2006: "The Widows of Culloden" ♦

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2006 ready-to-wear was shown in Paris on March 3, 2006, and it is titled “The Widows of Culloden”. The set is instantly recognizable: a runway built around a glass pyramid that becomes part of the story. The collection pulls from McQueen’s Scottish roots and pushes tartan into something theatrical and precise. Vogue’s review describes Victorian-leaning tartan crinolines, feathered gowns, bird-wing or antler-and-lace headdresses, plus sharp tailoring and strong coats
