The Bridegroom Stripped Bare shows the late Alexander McQueen at his exuberant best as he transforms a bridegroom into a bride in a frenzy of cutting, ripping, painting and gaffer-taping. McQueen was famous for his cutting and draping skills, often working directly on a garment while a model was wearing it. This film offers a rare glimpse of the designer at work, in what is usually an unseen, intense and private act.
It was just one of sixteen performances in the Transformer series by photographer Nick Knight, filmed and broadcast live over a two-day period back in 2002.
