The Mcqueen Exhibition

On Friday i had the day off work as my godmother had some tickets for the Alexander Mcqueen exhibition in the V&A. I was very excited, every piece of artwork or design has had reference to his work as through the years i've thoroughly searched books and online. i was continuously inspired by his 3 dimensional shapes, the beautiful construction and his love for art and the bizarre.

After looking through the collection of work. It was noticeable how he was able to turn 'ugly' materials, like flesh coloured latex or human hair, and turn it into something beautiful through adding embellishment or draping and tailoring.

I found the exhibition both brilliant and strange. No expense has been spared for the presentation, but its quite strange how many recordings and quotes there are, especially the way he talks through them, with his hopes to become a legend. With the collections packed full of super human beings and gods and demons, it's slightly disturbing to think about the man and mind behind these incredible clothes. It feels personal, almost too personal to see these pieces of art and to understand what went through his mind when creating them.
