This week I visited the
Alexander McQueen Exhibition, Savage Beauty at the V&A Museum. It was a visceral experience which left me in a weird but happy place. I would highly recommend booking tickets soon as the earliest available tickets are around mid-May. If you live local and frequent the V&A like I do, you could become a museum member and go back as often as you like without waiting for a time slot.
The exhibition evolved in complexity as you progressed through the rooms. I experienced almost every emotion on the spectrum in a short period of time, from calm to overwhelming. I thoroughly enjoyed the pieces themselves, the workmanship, materials, textures, manipulation and pairing of textiles and even the bizarre. It was a spectacular showcase of some amazing works of art, I can't wait to go back.
