Alexander McQueen Exhibit, "Savage Beauty"

1:43 AM

The genius of the late great Alexander McQueen will be celebrated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute this Spring, the famed New York institution has revealed. The exhibit, titled 'Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty,' will be open to the public starting today, May 4 to July 31 and was the focus of the recent Met's annual Costume Institute Gala.

The pieces in the exhibit will include approximately 100 garments from McQueen's 19-year career, starting with his postgraduate collection at Central Saint Martins in 1992, all the way up to his final runway presentation that was shown in Paris less than a month after his February 11, 2010 suicide.--(s)
