Tekintet – fétis – anyai abjekt: Alexander McQueen Voss divatperformanszának pszichoanalitikus értelmezése
Gaze – Fetish – Abject Mother: Psychoanalytic Interpretation of Alexander McQueen’s Fashion Performance

Summary/Abstract: This study interprets Alexander McQueen’s Voss fashion performance through a psychoanalytic lens. It argues that fashion is not merely aesthetic or commercial but expresses deep psychic structures of the self, the body, and desire. McQueen’s performance follows a regressive trajectory from an adult perspective to Oedipal and pre-Oedipal, abject maternal states. Structured by the logics of the gaze (Jacques Lacan), the fetish (Sigmund Freud), and the abject (Julia Kristeva), Voss can be read as McQueen’s self-analysis, in which the abject maternal body in the final scene signals the dominance of the death drive, foreshadowing the designer’s later suicide.
