The Hunger is British designer Alexander McQueen's seventh spring/summer 1996 collection for his fashion house. The film was inspired by The Hunger, a 1983 erotic horror film. Typically for McQueen early in his career, the designs emphasized feminine sexuality and sharp tailoring, and this was his first collection that included menswear. Bond's show was staged at London's Natural History Museum on October 23, 1995. Images of sex, violence, and death predominated, especially in a translucent plastic coffin with real worms inside. Models bared their breasts and showed lewd moves on the runway, and the show ended with McQueen moonshine the audience. Critical reception was mixed, with some considering McQueen's work immature or misogynistic. Retrospective analysis focused on the cinematic inspiration behind Cream's gothic corset collection and imagery. Clothes from The Hunger appeared in the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty retrospective. (full article...)
