Dramatic. Intense. Fanciful. Edgy. Ethereal. Magnificent. Breathtaking.

Raquel Zimmermann stars in the unforgettable Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2011 Ad Campaign photographed by David Sims.  The images – stunning artwork in their own right – are a beautiful accompaniment to Sarah Burton’s dramatic designs.  Noted stylist Camilla Nickerson worked with Zimmerman and Sims and created a world that is pure Alexander McQueen.

    Nice images and all but not being able to turn off the looped video at the top while I’m reading the page is highly annoying. I wonder if they thought about that when it was created.

    These are fabulous. Deep and dark but still enchanting.

    Reminds me a lot of the Savage Beauty exhibit (especially the animation), which I also thought was extremely well done. I just saw it last weekend.

    It’s so McQueen! I love it. There’s such a feeling that you’ve been transporting fully into Lee’s world. He’d be so proud. Sarah Burton did such a commendable job with this collection and the campaign team showcased it perfectly.

    The animation just clinches it, I hadn’t seen that before. Gorgeous!

    I think they’re fantastic! I love the dark element. Some of them remind me of posters for a movie.

    Ugh…it’s just so brilliant. I’ve been a fan of McQueen for so long, and even after his death, his collections never cease to amaze. I love the photography and imagery behind this campaign. It’s mystically beautiful.
