"People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with the dark side of personality"
Today is the day. The long awaited exhibition dedicated to the late Alexander McQueen. Savage Beauty. And it speaks for itself. The exhibition will feature more than 100 pieces of work from McQueen's career and ultimately celebrates his extraordinary contributions to fashion. McQueen challenged and expanded the understanding of fashion beyond efficiency to an statement of culture, politics, and identity. His iconic creations blurred the boundaries between art and fashion, taking the darkest side of the imagination and transforming it into innovative and spellbinding creations. Alexander McQueen was innovation. He created new possibilities and challenged boundaries in a way so beautiful, he will remain forever as one of fashions greats...
“You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I’m here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.”
