Lee McQueen’s Spring 2010 show - “Plato’s Atlantis” - is now legendary, but what did ppl think when it first dropped?
Live streamed by Show Studio in 2009, with Karlie Kloss on the runway and Lady Gaga debuting “Bad Romance” as the show’s closing song, “Plato’s Atlantis” really broke the internet. We’ve rounded up some of the OG reactions to McQueen’s GOATed collection - back in 2009, this sh*t went crazy.
“Each dress was a work of computer-generated art crossbred with McQueen's couture-based signature cut.”
Sarah Mower, Vogue
“The shoes alone were monstrous creations, with claw heels extending from crab-shaped platforms.”
Suzy Menkes, The New York Times
“Ruffled hemlines were frilled to resemble feathers, and vibrant fabrics were printed to resemble amphibian-like breastplates.”
Tamara Abraham, Daily Mail
“In my humble opinion, it was one of the very best McQueen collections in ages.”
Mark Holgate, Vogue
“Probably the best fashion spectacle of the season, was only a next step in McQueens new eco-conscience, themed with apocalyptic forecast of the future ecological meltdown of the world resulting in mutated humankind.”
