Do you plan to make a collection using skin developed from Alexander McQueen’s DNA? Was your choice, the idea of Alexander McQueen’s ‘Rebirth’, conditioned by the exploitation of genetic material around the world? I wanted to expose the issue and test how far I can exploit the legislation to patent someone else’s genetic information. Yes, I have made samples out of pig skin as it best mimics the human skin. I never planned to develop the prototypes in human leather, as my intention was never a commercial application.
