All Hail McQueen!

March 18, 2015 in News by Bernd Ruhl

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition currently showing at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London until August 2015 will leave one guessing if there could ever be another quite like the art legend himself.

Lisa Gregg, vice president, American Express, said it best: ‘Alexander McQueen was renowned for pushing creative boundaries and this was always demonstrated through his legendary work. American Express supported McQueen in his early years as a trailblazing creative, and was privileged to accompany him on the meteoric rise from cutting edge designer to global name.

McQueen was one of the UK’s most controversial fashion stars. The retrospective of his work at the V&A features items taken from his ground-breaking 1992 MA collection shown alongside his last.

Some of the shoes he designed during his lifetime are now highly sort after and dare we say…extremely hard to come by. Alas, we must settle for the second best, the ability to drool at the collection at the museum before they are whisked away…yet again. Take heart and see the exhibit. It’s worth it!
