Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty

Longtime fans of McQueen’s work will be treated to an engaging look back at those monumental collections. S/S 2001’s blood red ostrich feathered gown greets you at the entrance alongside a varnished made of clamshells and the high drama garments set the tone for the entire show. Every outfit is a thrill and seeing these pieces up close and personal is an experience unto itself. Interviews with McQueen’s colleagues, teachers and friends add a new layer of intimacy to the designs. Tales from his days at St. Martins mixed in with anecdotes from the likes of Sarah Burton and Phillip Treacy allow a window into the world of Lee McQueen and offer a greater understanding of one of fashion’s true masters.

Genius!
I’m seeing it on Friday! I pray to Tom Ford that they’ll banish the no photo rules for the usual special exhibits…but some how I doubt it’ll happen 🙁
How wonderful; wish I was in NY for this exhibition of such genius splendor.
I love you McQueen.
Some fantabulous stuff here.
It’s only fitting someone so amazing could have died so young i suppose :/

不错的主题。
I love seeing this its so different in person. He was so dedicated to his work, romantic and timeless. he will be missed. The MET did a great job be sure to see it if you can.
The title “savage beauty” does not illustrate the essence of McQueen, if this is what this homage is intended to explore!!!!!!
Hola. Acabo de regresar de NEW YORK. He sido admirador del trabajo de Macqeen. Vivir en Bogota significa estar a solo 6 horas en vuelo directo a New York, no podia perder esta oportunidad. valio la pena. Yo trabajo en el medio de la moda, Como docente y como modisto y esta exposicion me ha renovado porque me ha hecho reflexionar. Como quisiera que todas las personas conocieran el trabajo de la moda para que entendieran las historias que son creadas para poderlas contar a traves de los desfile. MACQUEEN MACQUEEN PAZ EN SU TUMBA.
GOD SAVE MCQUEEN!!!!!
