Alexander McQueen Dons a Bunny Suit, Spring 2009
In an effort to bring his audience’s attention to the deteriorating state of our environment, the models in Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2009 show shared the runway with a whole gang of taxidermied animals, including a lion, a tiger, an elephant, and a giraffe! In honor of these furry friends, the designer took his bow wearing a bunny suit, injecting a bit of his signature dark humor into his show’s serious subject matter. Speaking of serious, this was the very runway show in which one of our favorite models, Abbey Lee Kershaw, collapsed from wearing a too-tight corset.
