Ep. 173: '90s Beauty Moments - prosthetics on the catwalk; Alexander McQueen’s No.13 show with Paralympic athlete Aimee Mullins


Listen Later

Today’s ‘90s Beauty Moment is all about one of my favourite fashion designers, ever. Whenever I think about Alexander McQueen’s work I can’t help but get emotional. He was a designer who could find beauty in the darkest moments, and his No.13 show was full of light and dark.

The show is very well-known, mostly because of the finale, which sees model Shalom Harlow wearing a dress that’s being spray painted by two robots. But for me, there’s an even more impactful moment; the first time we see a model, who happens to be Paralympic athlete Aimee Mullins, wearing prosthetic legs on the catwalk.
