Alexander McQueen’s fall 1996 collection, "Dante," was seeped in references to both Christianity and the occult. This duality began with the collection’s namesake, Dante Alighieri, the eponymous narrator of Dante’s Inferno, who leads readers through the nine circles of Hell. The show was staged in London’s Christ Church, built in the 18th century by a suspected Satanist, Nicholas Hawksmoor.

Its light fabric is completely sheer, and it displays the season’s religious connotations with a cross in the top corner, and a scripture-like embroidery of “Life Is Pain...
