["388"]1. An irreplaceable talent
Lee McQueen committed suicide, age-old 40, in 2010. With British appearance now big business and beneath designers attractive to claiming or breach new arena with their assignment anymore – J.W. Anderson putting men in halter-necks is about as acceptable as it gets – his accident is actual abundant felt.
Along with acquaintance and fan, Isabella Blow, he brought a appearance and wit to the appearance apple that artlessly won’t be replaced. If anyone deserves a retrospective, it’s McQueen.
2. The clothes
McQueen’s clothes are works of art and now you can see some of his greatest pieces up close. The advance ‘Highland Rape’ accumulating from 1995, meant, according to the designer, to admire the English annihilation of his Scottish ancestors, appearance with its broken checkerboard dresses and ‘Bumsters’ trousers (the actual low waistband appear models’ bum cleavage).
["388"]Other must-sees are the Shalom Harlowe white dress that was spray-painted at the end of his spring/summer 1999 show, a floral dress from spring/summer 2007 which looks like a active annual bed with its beginning 3D blooms, and Lady Gaga’s aberrant 10-inch Armadillo shoes.
3. The staging
Like his balustrade shows (the bedlam cells, the accolade to Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, the Kate Moss hologram), which are legendary, the staging of this display is allotment of its allure.
All the drama, theatricality and annoyance of McQueen’s iconic shows are there, with galleries advised to attending like baronial halls and meat lockers. Unnerving to say the least.

The attendant was so acknowledged in New York that the Met backward accessible until midnight in its aboriginal anniversary to amuse demand.
It admiring 660,000 visitors, which fabricated it the 8th best visited exhibition in the Met’s 142 year history, putting it in a top 10 that includes the appointment of the Mona Lisa account in 1963 and the Treasures of Tutankhamun appearance in 1978. Not bad for a boy from Lewisham.
