preceded on 2^ndMay 2011 by the Costume Institute Gala Benefit ,

will encompass all of his work, from his Central Saint Martins postgrad collection in 1992 to his final runway presentation this past February.

“McQueen had such a singular voice and he was a remarkable technician. He really was one of the most provocative voices of the past 30 years in fashion. His catwalk presentations were outstanding and spans both art and fashion”. He continued, “We want to get across two elements – the spectacle of the runway presentations and the beauty of his craftsmanship,”

said the MET’s Andrew Bolton.

A wonderful exploration under the sign of grotesque, unconventional standard of beauty successfully evoked by the Legendary Designer,

telling about his subversion of traditional tailoring and dressmaking practices through deconstruction, the engagement with Romantic literary traditions as death, decay, darkness and the fascination for femme fatales, anti-heroes such as pirates and highwaymen,

which will be included in a book “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” by Andrew Bolton and Harold Koda.

A not to be missed event to enjoy the work of unforgettable and emblematic persona of fashion world.
