Savage Beauty

I have gone to see the Alexander McQueen show at the Met for the third time. The latest trip up 5th avenue was with a pen and paper. I just stood there in the  gallery quickly sketching portion of his clothes I found inspired. What made it so difficult is the amount of detail in his clothes that is firmly rooted in genius. Last year at the CFDA awards they presented his last collection. It was hands down the finest fashion show I have ever seen. I believe his talent was so immense that it became impossible to live.  Too much passion.

One of the themes I relate to was the "Mechanics of Nature" . The uneasy relationship of nature and the binds that are applied to harness it. That theme has been the lifeblood of my work. The idea of conflict in harmony. Please go see the show. I was so impressed with the amount of students and young people there.  I am sure that many of them had never heard of  McQueen before. The show rivals anything I have ever seen, and transcends art.
