savage beauty

I wish I was born or lived in New York. Anyone who is in New York right now should be at the Alexander McQueen exhibition at the Met. I feel like this is a rare opportunity for the public to see his work so close to their face. After seeing these beautiful photos from Garance Dore's blog, I just wanted to cry, wishing I was at the Met right now. McQueen had such a beautiful vision for his clothes. He created tangible and wearable beauty that anyone would feel like a shiny jewel wearing his art. The last image is from a fragment of a wallpaper, which the image is from McQueen's sketchbook. Imagine if my wall was covered in his sketches! If I am blown away from Garance's photos, I can not imagine how I would react if I was at the Met right now. I think I would faint.
