Alexander McQueen
The Metropolitan Museum of Art featured an impressive exhibit of the innovative fashions of the late Alexander McQueen. The exhibition organized by the Costume Institute celebrated the talented and sorely missed Alexander McQueen’s extraordinary contributions to fashion. From McQueen’s Central Saint Martins post-graduate collection of 1992 to his final runway presentation, (which took place after his death in February 2010) Mr. McQueen challenged and expanded the understanding of fashion beyond utility to a conceptual expression of culture, politics and identity. The exhibit included 100 ensembles, 70 accessories, videos, runway photos, and a comprehensive website.
