Savage. Beauty.

 Welcome to the Metropolitan Museum of Art!














Oh hot damn. Where to begin!? Let me first start by saying that the wait for Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty was 2 HOURS.  Words to describe the looks on people's faces when they saw this are: confused, upset, utterly shocked, etc.  Luckily, Valeria and I came to the Museum with my loving mother who waited on the line for us while we explored the museum and ate a fabulous lunch in their cafe (don't worry, we bought my mommy something too).  Once inside the exhibit, almost sobbing, I was in awe of everything McQueen had created.  Savage Beauty was everything you'd expect and more.  The man clearly had many demons but he used them to his advantage because his art is literally like nothing before.  He broke down so many boundaries in the fashion world and that was clear to me just by walking into the first of 11 rooms in the exhibit.  Sadly there was no photography allowed and guards were around every corner, so the two pictures I was able to sneak look pretty terrible. However, if you're unable to see the exhibit for yourself, I HIGHLY recommend going on the Museum's website and checking out some of the pictures, you will not be disappointed.
