Models walked down the runway in dresses made of scotch tape and covered in tire marks, everything from feathers and bird prints and making them appear as if they have been run over the car.

Once again, the bumster pants were presented (above shown in the second figure). Alexander McQueen was gaining notoriety as a brand; before the show rumors had been flying that Lee had hired a New York publicist. Recently, he had landed a six-page spread in the August 1994 edition of Elle Magazine. In fact, many people attributed the growing popularity of the once mocked London Fashion Week to people’s interest in Alexander McQueen.
The show took place in a warehouse notoriously used for underground parties named Bagleys, in the run down neighborhood of King’s Cross (reputed to be a red-light district). The ground is also covered with tire marks, and appears to be dirty. Once again, McQueen is called a misogynist by reviewers, to which he responded: “I design clothes because I don’t want women to look all innocent and naive, because I know what can happen to them.
