Givenchy | 1999-2000 Fall/Winter Alexander McQueen Era "Half Woman/Half Cyborg Collection

A fitted skirt with a natural waistline with a vent at the back. A Givenchy label is sewn on the interior waistband, marked a French 40.

Alexander McQueen took inspiration from Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. McQueen played on the Y2K panic and designed a collection of tailored clothing with futuristic accents underlying the message of humanity's dependence on machines. McQueen creates color-blocked wools, leathers, and furs in his designs to create striking lines that appear robotic. The collection featured catsuits and bright red and yellow diodes that lit up featuring the circuit patterns.
