Damien Hirst x Alexander McQueen Limited Edition 'God Fearing Circular' Scarf

Description: In celebration of the 10th anniversary of British design house Alexander McQueen‘s iconic skull scarf, British artist Damien Hirst collaborated with the famed fashion brand in the creation of 30 limited edition scarves. The patterns were adapted from Hirst’s Entomology series, a body of work that he began in 2009. Each print was composed from the intricate placement of butterflies, spiders and various insect species in the formation of kaleidoscopic, geometric shapes. the scarves appropriate the motifs in the organizational layout of McQueen’s signature skull image, an unmistakable emblem of the brand. The partnership seamlessly played on the shared aesthetic vision of the artist and designer, in which symmetry and strong references to natural history and the environment are significant parts of their creative vision. The most surprising thing about Damien Hirst’s collaboration with Alexander McQueen is that it didn’t happen sooner. Hirst and McQueen knew each other, and, although they were not great friends, they were great contemporaries. Both burst onto the scene in the 1990s, when London thrilled with renegade creative energy. The shocks and game-changing ideas that Hirst delivered to the art world were matched by McQueen’s uncompromising fashion aesthetic. Death and nature were recurring themes for both. The rarity of these scarfs make them hard to come by, and are coveted by both Alexander McQueen and Damien Hirst fans alike.
