Savage Beauty: Alexander McQueen


Alexander McQueen, “Oyster” Dress
"I’m Andrew Bolton, the curator of the exhibition Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. I think the title 'Savage Beauty' very much epitomizes the contrasting opposites in McQueen’s work. As you enter the exhibition, you’re faced with two mannequins—the two mannequins that I think represent many of the themes and ideas that McQueen revisited throughout his career: polarized opposites, whether it’s to do with life or death, lightness or darkness, predator/prey, man/machine."
