Alexander McQueen : Savage Beauty Exhibition Comes To London

The Alexander McQueen : Savage Beauty exhibition is coming to London. The V&A announced tonight that it will host the exhibition from March 14 to July 19 2015. The tickets can be bought already starting tomorrow 10 am or from the site www.vam.ac.uk/savagebeauty and it will cost £16 to visit.

The collection covers McQueen‘s career from his 1992 MA graduated show until his unfinished show in Fall/Winter 2010 – Swarovski partnered with V&A in bringing Alexander McQueen : Savage Beauty to London, the jewellery house having a rich history with Alexander McQueen dating back in 1990. The exhibition was originally displayed in New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art until August 2011 and due to popular demand they extended the exposure by one more week – apparently it became the eighth most popular exhibition in the Met’s 141-year history – behind Treasures of Tutankhamun (1978), Mona Lisa (1963), and Picasso (2010) – boasting a total of 661,509 visitors.

“I am thrilled to announce that the V&A will bring this wonderful exhibition to London to celebrate the extraordinary creative talent of one of the most innovative designers of recent times,” Martin Roth, director of the V&A, said tonight. “Lee Alexander McQueen was brought up in London, studied here and based his globally successful McQueen fashion brand here – by staging the exhibition at the V&A it feels like we are bringing his work home.“

“Savage Beauty is a story telling of the most imaginative and talented designer of our time,” added Jonathan Akeroyd, chief executive officer of Alexander McQueen. “We are incredibly proud as a house to be able to showcase Lee’s visionary body of work in London as a celebration of his legacy and an inspiration to a future generation.“

May I just say what a relief to find a person that really knows what they’re discussing on the internet.
You definitely understand how to bring an issue
to light and make it important. More people should read this and
understand this side of your story. I can’t believe you aren’t more
popular since you definitely possess the gift.
