Before he took his own life a month ago, Alexander McQueen was working on his fall collection, which was shown Tuesday in a demure salon setting at the Paris headquarters of his parent company. The 16 pieces shown had been cut “on the stand” by McQueen in the weeks before his death — and they were nothing short of extraordinary. Tweeting during his preparations, he hinted at the religious themes and works of art that he would reference. “Bosch-Memlin-Dante et al. Iammcqueen” he wrote, referring to 16th century Dutch painter Hieronymous Bosch, 15th century Flemish artist Hans Memling and Italian poet Dante — who described his journey through hell, purgatory and paradise in The Divine Comedy. “Hells angels + prolific demons,” he wrote. Boticelli’s angels and Bosch’s demons turned up as prints. His last tweet: “De Sade, Marie A- god rest their souls.” The company announced that the brand will continue, although no successor has yet been named.
