macqueen @ the met

The Savage Beauty exhibit was breathtaking and utterly captivating for anybody, from art/fashion enthusiast to 7 year old boys, everyone loved it.  It was curated to all the details you would expect from this great artist.  I was disappointed at the Met because they capitalized the situation and sandwiched the people like sardines into the exhibit.  If you had bought the Met membership, you would cut the line and go straight in, while us normal folks wait patiently in line.  It should have been handled with more organization because the demand and popularity to see Savage Beauty grew toward it's final weeks, so you would expect changes in how it was handled.  After spending at least 2 hours in line, I went into the exhibit with the intent of zoning out people and appreciate the craftsmanship of the dresses and the shoes.  Below are various styles of the armadillo shoes, studded booties and the spine shoes.

It was exhilarating to see the clothes up close and I love the quotes written on the walls and floor.  The music was chilling too because it fit the mood of the clothes shown on the mannequin.  I enjoyed every moment of it and successfully tuned out the other people and had my moment of seeing wearable art.
