After two seasons of playing it safe, McQueen knocked 'em dead with this absolutely electrifying fashion show. One of his best, McQueen delved into his past, citing "Highland Rape" with Scottish tartans and "Dante" with suits cut in lovely lace. Devoid of any punk rock or sinister undertones, McQueen was able to reference his past, while putting his couture skills acquired at Givenchy to good use. The result was a stunningly beautiful collection dripping in pure genius.
According to McQueen, the "Widows Of Culloden" presentation was tribute to the women who lost their husbands in the bloody battle of Culloden. The finale was one of McQueen's most memorable: a larger-than-life sized holographic video of Kate Moss that appeared and disappeared in the most haunting fashion (video above). McQueen proved that not only could he shock audiences with elaborate fashion shows and tailor a suit with flawless precision, he was one of the most technologically aware, a useful advantage that would benefit him for the rest of his career.
