"Designer as Dramatist, and the Tales He Left Behind"


A show at the Met called "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty," is all about the career of a talented fashion designer and artist who ended his life far too early. "The show, or rather what's in it, is a button-pushing marvel: ethereal and gross, graceful and utterly manipulative, and poised on a line where fashion turns into something else." McQueen liked to shock people when it came to his fashions typically with shapes consisting of horns, teeth, hair, cast-metal, etc...

The fact is that McQueen wasn't just a fashion designer, he was truly an artist with an intense, dramatic vision that came out in pieces of clothing.
