Alexander McQueen

“I want to be the purveyor of a certain silhouette or a way of cutting, so that when I’m dead and gone people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.”

The house of Alexander McQueen will be honored next week by The Costume Institute of The Met Museum and I can’t wait to be there to witness this spectacular event. One hundred designs will be on display and no doubt, they will all reflect Lee’s true essence – imaginative, dark, and romantic.

Yesterday, I was at The Met, and picked up the book – Savage Beauty. Believe me, you don’t want to miss out on purchasing this one. I can’t remember the last time I was so enthralled by a fashion book. McQueen certainly improves upon acquaintance, and his legend lives on!

New Yorkers will once again experience one of the many joys of living in this fashionable city. The Met’s Costume Institute is getting ready for their May 4th exhibit of the great fashion designer, Alexander McQueen. The show will focus from McQueen’s postgraduate collection, dated back in 1992 to the sad final runway show in February 2010, which took place after his death.

This exhibit means so much to McQueen’s devotees who have long since regarded him as one of the main King of Fashion. His designs always pushed the boundaries, and stayed true to their conceptual expression of culture, and identity. To watch the heart racing video from the museum, go to: Alexander McQueen at The Met. The Met will also produce a book from London photographer, Solve Sundsbo: Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty ($45).
