A gown that screams – Eat me ; ). New York based TWELV magazine recreated Alexander
McQueen‘s iconic rainbow feather-printed gown from his Spring ’08 collection.
For the debut issue of the magazine, the Editor-in-Chief,
Hissa Igarashi and Fashion Editor, Sayuri Marakumi took 3 weeks
to construct the gown using
50,000 gummy bears in multicolor with
steel wire which were twisted into the shape of
a gown covered with a sheet of vinyl. Each gummy bear was glued on by
hand and it weighed whopping 220 pounds. No wonder Jessica Pitti, the model
needed 3 people to move around and the shoot almost took 5 hours. This
is indeed a masterpiece and a beautiful homage to the late designer.
Now isn't that a delicious design ?
