Savage Beauty

The current show at the Met's Costume Institute is "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty", in case you haven't heard. The hoopla surrounding the show is everywhere. The opening night was packed with celebrities. Visitors seem to be dressing in McQueen as their personal tributes to him. I read that some who weren't fans of McQueen became admirers after visiting the show. There was even a rumor that Anna Wintour was attempting to borrow "the dress" (aka Kate's wedding gown) to add to the exhibit. Imagine.

Enough said. Savage Beauty is there for the taking until the end of July. Tick tock. I need to put a huge X on my calendar and make plans to visit before it disappears. {And being me, I prefer getting to places as they open.} The book from the exhibit is available on Amazon, just in case (for some horrible reason), you don't make it in person.

PS as I opened The New York Times today, Bill Cunningham's "McQueened" (below) reminded me to go visit the exhibit & write something about it.
