Alexander McQueen at the V&A

Last week we went to the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the V&A and it was absolutely amazing. Before going to this exhibition I was not very familiar with Alexander McQueen's work but after visiting I fell in love with this artist. The museum did't allow photos to be taken inside the exhibit sadly but these are a few postcards that I bought at the gift shop afterwards. The detail that went into every single piece that he created is pretty unbelievable. Every concept was so well executed from head to toe and each collection was very well put together. I was fascinated by all the crazy designs that he came up with, designs that I could never even dream of creating. Throughout the museum they had quotes by Alexander McQueen and my favorite one was, "when I'm dead and gone people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen." I love the confidence that he had and we can truly look back at him as a designer that started the twenty-first century by pushing the boundaries of fashion like no one else ever had. 

I would also like to comment on how perfect the logo for the Victoria and Albert museum is. I love how the ampersand acts as the other half of the 'A' and the typeface that was used is beautiful. This branding that the V&A has chosen does a great job of capturing the modern and elegant style of the museum as a whole.
