Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen's Plato's Atlantis, Paris, October 6, 2009 Nobody in the room knew it would be his last show, which makes it the most haunting farewell on this list. The Spring 2010 collection became the first fashion show streamed live on the internet, through SHOWstudio, and Lady Gaga used it to premiere "Bad Romance." McQueen died in February 2010, and the collection he left unfinished was completed by Sarah Burton. That makes Plato's Atlantis the last complete statement of his vision: technically daring, unsettling and years ahead of how fashion would be watched.
