7. Deliverance
McQueen turned the traditional fashion show narrative on its head with his spring/summer 2004 fashion show, inspired by the film “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They.” He started the show with evening gowns, and gradually progressed to consciously threadbare day-wear and the homespun elegance of a tarnished evening gown. Never one to do things conventionally, McQueen helped kick-start fashion’s move towards the Americana-inspired Western styles we still see on the streets today, and once again, did something completely new and exciting at the same time.
