Chapter 6: Models on the runway
Alexander Mcqueen Fall 1998 RTW
One of Alexander McQueen's most theatrical presentations was his 1998 Fall collection, "Joan," which is legendary for its edgy and grandiose fashion performances. This fashion show is frequently recognized as one of the spookiest runways ever produced. It was inspired by the deaths of Joan of Arc and the Romanov children. Models removed their eyebrows and used red contacts and medieval headdresses. The last look in the collection was undoubtedly the creepiest and most amazing scene. The model, who was dressed in a scarlet robe that concealed her face, slowly moved into the middle of the stage before striking her last poses as a ring of flames burst around her, mirroring Joan of Arc's own horrific faith. We have no idea who the model is. The designer put more of an emphasis on the clothing's artistic design than the model's identity. The show's atmosphere is unsettling throughout, but the closing really brings it to a chilling finale.

palestinians refuse to lose hope, and you need to do the same. it is very difficult to not spiral into despair when it feels like all you can do is watch this unfold on social media but you can't let that happen. you cannot let yourself become numb and exhausted and indifferent. stay furious and stay devastated. hold onto your grief and let it give you the power to keep pushing. to keep protesting, boycotting, calling your state representatives and congress members if you live in the us - you have to stay emotional. israel and the us want to bully you into numbness and despair because that's the key to getting away with this. either get your citizens to accept your propaganda as gospel truth or make them give up the fight.
apathy and doom-spirals only aid in israel and the us's genocide of palestine. you have to keep hoping and you have to keep believing that yes if you try hard enough you can contribute to making a difference. don't look away, and don't give up either, okay? 🇵🇸💗
