Jacket from Nihilism

Nihilism (Spring/Summer 1994) is the third collection by the British designer Alexander McQueen for his fashion house. An eclectic collection with no straightforward theme, it pushed back against dominant womenswear trends with its hard tailoring and aggressive, sexualised styling. It was created in collaboration with McQueen's associates Simon Ungless and Fleet Bigwood. McQueen's first professional runway show, Nihilism included experimental techniques, silhouettes and materials, such as dresses made from cellophane, stained with clay or adorned with dead locusts. The styling was intended to be provocative and disturbing. The clothing was highly sexualised: thin fabric that exposed the skin underneath or garments cut to expose breasts and vulvas. The collection received mixed reviews. Journalists had a difficult time deciding what to make of it. McQueen returned to many of the ideas he explored in Nihilism throughout his lifetime, especially the interplay of sexuality and violence. (Full article...)

Franklin D. Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945) was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death. He was the longest-serving U.S. president and the only one to serve more than two terms in office. His first two terms were centered on combating the Great Depression, while his third and fourth saw him shift his focus to America's involvement in World War II. This official photographic portrait of Roosevelt was taken in Hyde Park, New York, for his 1944 presidential election campaign.
