Alexander McQueen
I also have the catalog from his recent show at the Met in New York if you want to take a look.

do a google image search for Maison Martin Margiela...his site is great too

Orlan is an artist who became known for doing performances while she underwent plastic surgery...she chose features from "ideal" women in artworks...such as the Mona Lisa...and had them implemented on herself to create a new identity.
Here is an interview.

and just because...
try looking up Cindy Jackson...known as the living Barbie doll...I think she's up to something like 61 surgeries now in order to look like her favorite doll...
