Which designer presented The Horn of Plenty at Paris Fashion Week in 2009?

Alexander McQueen presented The Horn of Plenty at Paris Fashion Week in 2009.

The collection was named after the cornucopia, a symbol traditionally associated with abundance. McQueen reworked that idea into a critique of excess, using discarded and recycled-looking materials, dramatic silhouettes, and theatrical styling to create a deliberately extravagant runway presentation.

The show is often discussed as an example of McQueen’s ability to combine fashion with performance, symbolism, and social commentary. Its visual language contrasted glamour with waste and overconsumption, themes that became increasingly relevant in later discussions of fashion’s environmental impact.

The title is sometimes confused with other McQueen collections because his Paris shows frequently had memorable names and strong conceptual narratives. The Horn of Plenty specifically refers to the 2009 collection and not to his earlier Plato’s Atlantis show.
