I'm not lucky enough to live anywhere near New York and unfortunately was unable to see the exhibit of Alexander McQueen's work at the Met. Many of my friends have seen it and they've all raved about how amazing it was. Not surprising. Like many fashion designers, I consider McQueen to be one of the true geniuses of the fashion industry. I was devastated when he died because I know there was so much amazing work still left in him. He was one of the few designers who told a story with each collection. You never knew what that story might be but you always knew it would be awe inspiring. I loved the way he referenced historical techniques and tailoring but used them in a modern context. If you were unable to get to New York, you may appreciate this brief tour of the exhibit narrated by Andrew Bolton. Enjoy!
