Following the disastrous loss of the entire Taxi Driver collection to, er, negligence, McQueen was still uncertain about launching his own label. After some dithering, he gathered up every odd and end he'd created since then and put them together in the primal scream that was Nihilism. Not yet capable of the sweeping narratives that would characterise his later career, and on a budget of approximately zero, he went for pure shock tactics. Models smeared in filth and fake blood stalked down the runway, wrapped in cling film, breasts and genitals flashing. The audience was struck dumb and even photographers quit snapping, aghast at the sight. Reviews were mixed, with many accusing McQueen of misogyny while others recognized the burgeoning talent beneath the gore. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
Image review
Hi ♠PMC♠, happy to do the image review. The article contains the following images:
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nihilism_from_Alexander_McQueen_Savage_Beauty.jpg
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_of_Alexander_McQueen.svg
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:People_queueing_to_get_into_Blue_Bird,_Kings_Road_(geograph_4104023).jpg
The logo is in public domain per https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Threshold_of_originality. The other two images are licensed under CC BY 2.0 and CC BY-SA 2.0. All images have captions and alt texts. They are relevant to the article and placed at appropriate locations. The description on the wiki commons page of "File:Nihilism from Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty.jpg" should be updated: it listed 5 items but the image is a cropped version that only shows one item. I'm confused since the wiki commons description says "Savage Beauty exhibition, 2011" but our caption says "2015 staging". The file was uploaded in 2011 so that date is probably correct.

- Hi Phlsph7, thanks for the image review! I've fixed the description for the Nihilism jacket and the caption. I think I'm just so used to images being from the 2015 staging that I forgot to double check. Cheers! ♠PMC♠ (talk) 17:46, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
