A DAY WITH McQUEEN

“You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I’m here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.”

—Alexander McQueen


TODAY I SPENT THE MORNING AT THE MET AT THE ALEXANDER McQUEEN - SAVAGE BEAUTY EXHIBITION. IT ACTUALLY TOOK MY BREATH AWAY. THE MOMENT YOU ENTERED THE EXHIBITION, YOU WERE TRANSPORTED, IN TRUE McQUEEN STYLE, TO A PLACE THAT IS A DARK AS IT IS ROMANTIC & BEAUTIFUL AS IT SAD. BELOW ARE SOME IMAGES & ALSO A VIDEO TAKING YOU THROUGH THE EXHIBITION, NARRATED BY THE EXHIBITION CURATOR, ANDREW BOLTON.

THE EXHIBITION SHOWS WORKS FROM McQUEENS COLLEGE DAYS, THROUGH TO COLLABORATIONS, COUTURE, READY TO WEAR, COSTUMES LADY GAGA MADE FAMOUS, PLASMA SCREENS SHOWING THE MAGIC OF HIS THEATRICAL RUNWAY SHOWS & AN OUT OF THIS WORLD HOLOGRAM OF KATE MOSS.

THIS IS TRULY A MUST SEE FOR ANY FASHION OR ART LOVER.

A TRUE CREATIVE GENIUS. MAY HE BE IN A PLACE THAT IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DREAMS HE CREATED. - SW
