| Butterflies are the ultimate symbol of life after death for the caterpillar must succumb to the cocoon and die before being reborn as a butterfly. This hat created by eccentric milliner Philip Treacy and conceived by McQueen as an accessory for his 2008 runway fashion show. The show and the hat were a tribute to the late Isabella Blow, who had discovered both Treacy and McQueen and championed their clothes. |
