More than 100 ensembles and 70 accessories from the prolific career of the late Alexander McQueen are on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art through August 7. According to the Met’s web site, “McQueen’s fashions often referenced the exaggerated silhouettes of the 1860s, 1880s, 1890s and 1950s, but his technical ingenuity always imbued his designs with an innovative sensibility that kept him at the vanguard.” His designs are displayed in several environments that complement the incredibly detailed fashion with over-scale occasionally over the top visual and audio elements. Taken together, the work and the display create an enthralling portrait of an iconic designer.
