@madonna wearing a dress from alexander mcqueen’s 2004 “deliverance” collection from @ootolondon This collection and fashion show was inspired by Sydney Pollack’s film “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” about hunger and youth during the Great Depression when contestants would enlist in endurance dance contests for cash prize which pushed their physical limits sometimes to death. McQueen’s show was relating this story to the rat race of fashion.
