Two dresses from the McQueen 2010 Summer collection and an image from Yayoi Kusama's Giant pumpkin installation in New York
The thing that fascinates me most about this correlation is both artist's mental instability. Alexander McQueen sadly took his own life only months ago and Kusama's battle with her mental health can be mapped through her obsessive use of small and intricate patterns in her art. Her art has slowly become more and more detailed and causes the viewer to truly sympathize with her in her obsession with making patterns symmetrical and perfect.
