EYE

Proving that he still knows how to inject excitement into a traditional runway presentation, McQueen took expectations to new heights (literally) with his Spring/Summer 2000 collection, 'Eye' (which can be seen in full here). As heavily influenced by Middle-Eastern culture as it was hardcore porn, the collection was based on two very extreme portrayals of female sexuality and, in a move that would probably now be deemed too controversial for the fashion industry, featured sexed-up versions of traditional Middle-Eastern dress (and yes, that does include the burqa).
