Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty
From March
Sat Mar 14 – Sun Jul 19. V&A, Cromwell Rd, SW7 2RL
When New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art got custody of Daphne Guinness’s archive of Alexander McQueen’s designs for its incredible retrospective of the late designer’s work, we were green with envy and purple with rage. Lee Alexander McQueen was born in London, raised in London, learned his craft on Savile Row and in Central Saint Martins, and based his label in Clerkenwell. Fashion movers and shakers across the industry, spearheaded by blog mistress supreme Susie Lau of stylebubble.co.uk campaigned for the show to come home, and in March 2015 it does just that with a bigger, better version of the original exhibition produced by Gainsbury and Whiting – the team that were also behind his epic fashion shows. March cannot come soon enough.
