Many well-deserved homages will be written to his incredible cutting and the couture-level romanticism of his dresses, and the fact that his “bumsters” forced women into low-rise pants for more than a decade. I admire all that fully. But for me, the truly unique and indelible side of McQueen’s talent is what he did with his shows—transforming production, with the help of music, from being a boring old formulaic trot up and down a runway into an experience that went beyond fashion into the empire of a theatrical, emotional, psychological assault.
