OUGD402 Brief 1 - Alexander McQueen

http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2015/march/alexander-mcqueen-savage-beauty

I noticed this exhibition while reading the metro on the way to
uni and it intrigued me I'd love to go to the V&A and look at
McQueen's iconic and stylistic work. Although not graphic
design related I have an appreciation for fashion I don't feel it is
just about the clothes i'd argue it is a an art piece its self and
love looking at exhibits to help influence my current practice.

"A magnificent new show at the V&A exploring the life's work 
of legendary British fashion design Alexander McQueen is a moving, 
immersive experience that will leave you breathless.

The widely anticipated Savage Beauty exhibition builds on the success
 of the smaller Metropolitan Museum of Art show in 2011. Claire Wilcox,
 senior curator of fashion at the V&A, worked alongside the Met's Andrew 
Bolton as consultant curator to produce a show as rich as the work itself, 
exploring the wealth of references and materials of the collections, with 
the aim of reflecting the imagination that McQueen poured into his work, 
and inspire new generations with the thought that creativity and fashion 
needn't be limited by function."
