March 9, 2010 - Fashion designer Alexander McQueen described his interpretation of Atlantis as a fantasy place that never existed, a metaphor for anywhere people find sanctuary in hard times. The designs themselves bring to mind a futuristic underwater world dominated by reptile patterns and alien features, with shoes that encase feet like armored hooves. The presentation of McQueen’s collection proved as much a talking point as the clothes themselves.
