Savage Beauty: Art sensation Or Art Criticism?
Alexander Mc Queen was a British Fashion icon, not afraid to cross the line to create an extreme, raw and controversial fashion line. His tragic death in 2010 left fans worldwide devastated, but determined to carry on his legacy.
Alexander’s Art Exhibition “Savage Beauty” has been described as a “Button Pushing Marvel”, being separated into six galleries including his first ever Collection titled “Jack the Ripper stalks his victims”.
Yes, it is controversial, and yes some might say he took Fashion too far, but if he didn’t, the World of Fashion would stay merely in-between the lines.
New York City hosted the “Savage Beauty” exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and ran for four months from May this year. The popularity of the Exhibition showed great admiration for the late fashion designer, continuing his great legacy in the Fashion World.
As different as some of his pieces were, he still managed to win “British Designer of the Year” four times and was proud of his pieces.
British, as well as American fans should have the opportunity to marvel at this Exhibition and feel a sense of accomplishment form one of Britain’s highly rated Designers in the last decade.
As controversial and as extreme McQueen’s work was, he was one of the few who broke the rules, and has influenced up and coming designers to create their own Unique, Individual style.
