Long Tailed Tit - Aegithalos caudates











Razor Shells - Ensis arcuatus



Alexander Mcqueen - 2001 for Voss

In McQueen’s Words
“My friend George and I were walking on the beach in Norfolk, and there were thousands of [razor-clam] shells. They were so beautiful,
I thought I had to do something with them. So, we decided to make [a dress] out of them. . . . The shells had outlived their usefulness
on the beach, so we put them to another use on a dress. Then Erin [O’Conner] came out and trashed the dress, so their usefulness
was over once again. Kind of like fashion, really.”
