“London’s where I was brought up. It’s where my heart is and where I get my inspiration.”

In the Easter break, I am going to make sure that I pay a visit to the latest Alexander McQueen exhibition Savage Beauty in London at the V&A museum.
The exhibition itself is the first and largest retrospective of the late designer’s work to be presented in Europe, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty showcases McQueen’s visionary body
of work. Spanning his 1992 MA graduate collection to his unfinished A/W 2010 collection, McQueen’s designs are presented with the dramatic staging and sense of spectacle synonymous with his runway shows.

The original version of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 2011 was organised by the Costume Institute and became one of the museum's top 10 most visited exhibitions.
The exhibition itself presents the two sides of McQueens work...the gothic mind and the romantic mind. The exhibition showcases both sides of his work both separately and together, so that people can experience the mind of Alexander McQueen and what influenced his iconic designs.
As a huge fan of McQueen's work, I cannot wait to go to the exhibition and see what inspiration I can take from his work and see how I can incorporate it into my own.
