The Spring/Summer 2009 collection titled ' Natural Dis-tinction Un-natural Selection' was based upon McQueen's exploration on the thoughts of Charles Darwin - evolution of mankind. The catwalk show displayed the story clearly. The stage was displayed with large stuffed animals and had a backdrop of the earth. The show started with animal printed garments, floral embellishments and flowing, free fabric. The colours were fairly neutral and soft.
As the show progressed, the pieces morphed into more harsh and stable structures with digital graphic prints and concentrated colours. 
Reaching the end the garments had strong, stiff silhouettes, with the use of leather, pvc,metallic effects as well as mechanical prints. Colours turned to a palette of metal shades. This was the introduction of industrialisation, thus how it now effects nature.
So with my initial idea it could possibly the continuation of this collection - the effects of industrialisation/technology have surpassed yet destroyed the power of nature. Result - decaying earth.
I've gone back to brum town now but will continue to research this idea and post new findings up!
