The exhibition, organized by The Costume Institute, celebrated the talented and sorely missed Alexander McQueen’s extraordinary contributions to fashion. From his Central Saint Martins postgraduate collection of 1992 to his final runway presentation, which took place after <a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2010/02/huge-loss-to-fashion-art-undoubtedly.html">his death in February 2010</a>, Mr. McQueen challenged and expanded the understanding of fashion beyond utility to a conceptual expression of culture, politics, and identity.<br /><br /><br /><br />The exhibit was extensive including, in addition to the 100 ensembles and 70 accessories, it included videos, runway photos, and a comprehensive <a href="http://blog.metmuseum.org/alexandermcqueen/">website.<br /><br /></a><br /><br />I have featured some details of the more unusual and striking pieces in the exhibit, but encourage you to visit the website to see more if you were unable to attend in person.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxb8WlzXCjcF5BH7-Y-stLOE_yM9y8QbUtMXhzLl6MzzjiuAHpOV95K2zhFfA5y-S06zOmQVl3lzM-itQStIRe321939UfNZBXyT7GbjP5UQ5tQtM2vWA7t5YrK6vrPDKt0ZW40oHsh-Rn/s1600/McQ.903.EL.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638274385718875090" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxb8WlzXCjcF5BH7-Y-stLOE_yM9y8QbUtMXhzLl6MzzjiuAHpOV95K2zhFfA5y-S06zOmQVl3lzM-itQStIRe321939UfNZBXyT7GbjP5UQ5tQtM2vWA7t5YrK6vrPDKt0ZW40oHsh-Rn/s400/McQ.903.EL.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

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.<br /><br /><br /><br />The exhibition was organized by Andrew Bolton, curator, with the support of Harold Koda, curator in charge, both of The Costume Institute. Sam Gainsbury and Joseph Bennett, the production designers for Alexander McQueen’s fashion shows, served as the exhibition’s creative director and production designer, respectively.
