For the clothing tag on the items, he encased locks of his own hair inside of clear plastic squares. This referenced the practice of Victorian-era prostitutes selling locks of hair as well as the general practice of people keeping a lock of hair as a memento or trophybut the inline citation that follows does not seem to support the sentences.

Relatively little to say here. It's shorter than some of these articles, which is understandable for what is to some degree a work of juvenilia. most notable Master's thesis
McQueen and his friend Simon Ungless had a mutual interest in the famous 18th century sadomasochistic novel The 120 Days of Sodom-- you see why I had to ask to clarify "platonic"?
Although Hillson was dubious about the idea, she agreed to mentor him; among other things, this meant quietly providing him quality fabric from the CSM stores, as he could not afford to buy his own.I recognize it's rank hypocrisy for me to say this, but that's better as a sentence break than a semicolon.
The collection's narrative was inspired by the victims of 19th-century London serial killer Jack the Ripper, leading to the collection's title, Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims.I get it, I really do, avoiding this kind of thing is a pain in the ass, but the principle of some astonishment applies. Can we assume the reader has read the article's title?
To a lesser extent, he looked to Helmut Lang and Martin Margiela, who were then experimenting with a minimalist style-- of the many terms I've seen applied to McQueen in this article suite, "minimalist" isn't really one. Am I not grokking something subtle?
He cited McQueen's homosexuality and his skill at tailoring as justification that McQueen's aesthetic of brutality "was not simply a heartless theatrical flourish, but a manifestation of the very practices that informed his distinctive style of creating a garment".How do those things link together -- does the source detail? Right now, "being gay made his work more brutal" raises more questions than it answers. Also, the reference on this is broken in some way that creates an infinite loop and freezes the article entirely, at least in Firefox.
Academic Chris McWade-- is this the right title? He seems to have gone into alt-ac/administration. "Chris McWade at the STADIO School of Fashion" (what LISOF recently renamed to) or similar?
Jack the Ripper was the only collection McQueen presented under his birth name, Lee A. McQueen. By the time he released his next collection, Taxi Driver (Autumn/Winter 1993), he had decided to design under his middle name, Alexander McQueen, which also became the name of his fashion house.Could we clarify the decision-making process here, if possible? I vaguely recall you talking about why once, but don't remember the details.
I don't really have anything else here. Over to you. Vaticidal prophet 00:36, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
