When the master of one form of art collides with the master of another, only great things will happen; the Damien Hirst x Alexander McQueen collection is a prime example. A line of designer scarves, it uses the patterns the British artist has become so famous for and prints them on the finest silk fabric.
From butterfly wings taking on the form of skulls to beetles creating a Persian rug-like pattern, the designs that make up the Damien Hirst x Alexander McQueen collection are exquisite. The line came about when the British label wanted to celebrates the ten year anniversary of its skull scarf in a special way. They will hit stores on November 15, 2013.
