The well-known exhibition which has had a record breaking amount of visitors when it first opened in 2011, at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is the most popular fashion exhibition in history, which regularly had to be extended due to popular demand.
The exhibition is dedicated to well known British designer, Lee Alexander McQueen and his life throughout his design career. After the designers tragic death in 2010 the friends and family of Lee began organising an exhibition that would honour his life and work.
The exhibition when opened was met with praise from critics for truly embodying the drama and artistic display that the McQueen runway shows displayed so well.
The display covers McQueen’s career from his 1992 graduate collection to his AW10, unfinished collection.
Martin Roth, director of the V&A commented “I am thrilled to announce that the V&A will bring this wonderful exhibition to London to celebrate the extraordinary creative talent of one of the most innovative designers of recent times, Lee Alexander McQueen was brought up in London, studied here and based his globally successful McQueen fashion brand here – by staging the exhibition at the V&A it feels like we are bringing his work home.”
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty will open at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London on 14 March 2015. Tickets go on sale at 10.00am on 25 April 2014.
