Curated by the Costume Institute&#8217;s Andrew Bolton, the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.metmuseum.org\/alexandermcqueen\/\">Savage Beauty exhibit<\/a> attempts to document  the designer&#8217;s work as well as the esoteric worldview that influenced his designs. Moving beyond static mannequins and instead creating a dynamic atmosphere, the exhibit succeeds in bringing you into the world&#8217;s McQueen created on the runways each season. <\/p>\n<p>Longtime fans of McQueen&#8217;s work will be treated to an engaging look back at those monumental collections. S\/S 2001&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s true masters.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 466px; float: left; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 16px;\">Alexander
