Alexander McQueen presented a theatrical spectacle called “Horn of Plenty”, the show was a recycled remix of his work and that of others in the 20th century.
Now I Love the dramatic works of designers such as McQueen, and John Galliano these guys put stuff out there that is so out of the box it seems to me to be MAS.
Imagine if the designers of Tribe, Island People, Spice, or Legacy, dared one year to step out of the boundaries of their comfort zone, put their talents to the test and went where they or their masqueraders never went before...or if the likes of McQueen did a band in Trinidad...
THAT would be a spectacle...
You see these guys are thinkers, constantly challenging their art form, constantly stretching their imaginations and our conceptions of what fashion is, this is what our mas designers should be doing, instead of swapping colours bikini’s and plumes year in year out, while others argue this stagnant or slow moving river of the mundane can actually keep the culture alive.
Here is another boundary breaker that got my attention.
