Abstract

The act of thinking about the existing and practiced contamination between artistic languages serves us to understand the symbiosis and connectivity that artistic-cultural expressions provide when intermingling,
for example, fashion with cinema and dance. It is from this link that this article intends to expose how the movements and expressiveness of the bodies, the constituted and superimposed images in the fashion of the designer Alexander McQueen, with his collection Deliverance (spring-summer 2004), dialogues with other artistic nuances that combine to illustrate an aesthetic narrative of Mcqueenian fashion in dialogue with
cinema and dance. To understand McQueen’s creative sensibility, our theoretical contribution comes essentially from authors of philosophy and sociology, such as Gilles Lipovetsky and Zigmunt Bauman to think about hypermodernity, contemporaneity, as well as the concept of ‘bricolage’ that appears in Claude Lévi- Strauss.
