God Save the Queen

After seeing the late Alexander McQueen's exhibit, Savage Beauty, at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, I came to better understand who Alexander McQueen was. While many
of McQueen's pieces may seem strange at first, your eyes are drawn to it, forcing you to
examine the beauties of it. At times the dresses were shocking, and at times even
disturbing, but to me, clothes are not meant to be glanced over. Fashion is supposed to
evoke emotion and that is what McQueen intended. Here are some of my favorite and
most breath-taking pieces of the exhibit.

Summer in the City

Today AJ and I adventured into the city for the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. I don't think words could describe the wearable art
that the late Alexander McQueen had created. It was a truly breathtaking and
inspiring exhibit. The exhibit is nearing its last week of showing, therefore, if you
haven't seen it yet, you better sprint over to 5th Avenue to check it out! As for the
outfit of the day, we have finally gotten a break from the humid 100 degree weather!
Check out what I was sporting around Manhattan today!
