With its corrugated iron backdrop and thumping
techno soundtrack, “It’s A Jungle Out
There” (which can be seen in full here) is possibly McQueen’s most industrial collection to date. It is
interesting that when giving interviews on the collection, the designer stated
that the mood of the show was based on the Thompson’s gazelle – elaborating, he
explained that “it’s got these dark eyes,
the white and black with the tan markings on the side, the horns – but it is
the food chain of Africa. As soon as it’s born, it’s dead. You’re lucky if it
lasts a few months, and that’s how I see human life; in the same way. You know,
we can all be discarded quite easily. You’re there, you’re gone – it’s a jungle
out there".
