This collection by Alexander McQueen displays the whole image based on purely body modification. I can clearly see from the image above that this model has facial modification which has most probably been created by wax applied onto the face to create new shaping. Her hair has also been styled using inspiration from the head binding that African Tribes create with their skulls.
I love the way the hair has been plaited and pinned up to the top of the head to re-create the look of a banded skull. From looking at the image I can see that the hair has been plaited into many sections down the back of the head, and then each plait has been pulled up the head and pinned into place to create this amazing shape. This would be a great idea for one of my final shoots as I am interested in this hair shape!
