MET ALEXANDER McQUEEN
Alexander McQueen definitely was a modern visionary, he saw beyond all the time and that mixed with the talent created one of the best fashion designers of our time. In the exhibit called ‘Savage Beauty’ at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, was celebrated everything that McQueen loved it the contrast between the masculine and the feminine, the simple and the exotic, past and future. Sarah Burton, designer right now of the McQueen Collection was present in the exhibit; she definitely is continuing the impulse of the mark with passion and discipline two things that were very important for McQueen.
In the show we could see McQueen designs which included the favorite themes of the designer like exoticism, naturalism, primitivism, nationalism and of course a romantic historicism. Definitely an incredible exhibition that only can be explained with one word Fairy Tale, a unique fairy tale out of words like the designs of this innovator. As was said by the curator of the show Andrew Bolton in the beginning “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind” that was a quote that McQueen has tattooed on his arm. He definitely made us see the imperfect beauty as perfect at the end of the night. Alexander McQueen “Savage Beauty” is until July, 31. Urban Runway
