Anyone knows who the first song is by? I love it!!!

i love this collection. i remember watching mcqueen explain his decision to use mannequins instead of live models, so that the audience and the press could focus on the workmanship of the clothing and not focus on what models were walking in the show.

the opening song to me sounds a lot like de phazz, good boy, with something added over it...idk

@drillian I think the video is deceptive. I don't think the fabric was as stiff as it appears. It's most likely a combination of all the pleats, beading, the fabric itself (probably starched), and the petticoat underneath, which gave the coat volume. The lack of movement of the graments on the manequins, a chief complaint from critics of this collection, contributes to this as well. As for the guy, it does look a bit like Treacy, but I doubt it. He looks a bit young.

@bjorkisaldibaranti psyche rock- pierre henry

[drillian]

@bjorkisaldibaranti Pierre Henry (fatboy slim remix). The remix is slightly different in this than the fatboy slim version. probably done by Mekon or one of AxQ's frequent collaborators.
