The collection was crafted between January and February 1997, in McQueen's studio in London. The designer intended to take the toughness and irreverence of McQueen's London, in opposition to the wealthy and elegant atmosphere of Givenchy. According to Sebastian Pons, his design assistant at the time: " I walked to his London studio and he was talking of an haute couture show, "I tried to please them and I fucked it up so I'm going to do my own thing".[21] For the creation of the garments, McQueen applied classic patterns to "street-wear fabrics", resulting on leather and denim frock coats.[22] He also experimented with structures, creating higher and wider shoulders, irregular cuts and sharp tailoring. He also added taxidermy pieces as crocodile heads or antelope alters; some of the pieces had hair stuck to it: "The idea of this piece is that a beast has eaten a lovely blond girl and she is trying to get out" (Alexander McQueen the works ).[23] Some of the pieces included prints of Robert Campin's The Bad Thief to the Left of Christ, 1430.[24]
