McQueen Exhibition: Savage Beauty
Sunday 12th July 2015
Yesterday, I had the privilege of visiting the McQueen exhibition at the V&A...I was blown away! I am totally in awe of the way McQueen managed to evoke such a strong emotional reaction to his work from the use of controversial materials such as crocodile heads or human hair to the mesmerising shows. I equally admired the way McQueen used his work to confront an issue for example, the way the media/fashion industry promotes an unattainable image of female beauty. As I wandered around the exhibition it was fascinating to see the clarity of the many influences on McQueen's work as his work was amalgamated into specific collections and styles of garments i.e the tribal collection or striking tailoring. The exhibition was put together in such a way that I felt I had truly taken a glimpse into the great mind of McQueen himself.
