Museum honors 鈥榚nfant terrible鈥 Alexander McQueen
Print Edition
MORE than 70,000 tickets have already sold for the “Savage Beauty” show, through August 2, at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum to honor the late “enfant terrible” of British fashion, Alexander McQueen.
The director calls it an “emotional homecoming” for the designer who committed suicide in 2010 aged 40 and is remembered as one of Britain’s most influential cultural figures of recent times.
The fashion world was out in force for the opening last week, attended by Britain’s David and Victoria Beckham and models Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Eva Herzigova and Poppy Delevingne in full ball gowns. They were joined by Mexican-born film star Salma Hayek, English actor Colin Firth and Britain’s Princess Beatrice.
On view are 240 outfits typifying McQueen’s distinctive and occasionally bizarre style in the museum’s largest ever fashion exhibition. Curator Claire Wilcox described McQueen as “one of the most influential designers of his generation who shocked with his spectacular and powerful catwalk shows.”
The exhibition, she said, was a reflection of his “elaborate storytelling, craftsmanship of the highest level” and his romantic obsession with nature.
