Picnic at Hanging Rock

References to the early twentieth century and the Edwardian fashions in the film Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) are evident in two McQueen looks from It’s Only a Game (Spring/Summer 2005). The high, fitted collars and vertical pintucks of silk net and lace of dresses from the early 1900s inspired McQueen’s jackets, with the grosgrain ribbon typically found inside historic boned bodices acting here as an exposed waist closure.
