Another Mcqueen Exhibition Begins.

In 2011, with a total of 660 thousand visitors, the Alexander McQueen "beauty of the wild" retrospective became the most popular exhibition in the history of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. A few days ago, the exhibition landed in London with an upgraded version. In the home of the late British designer, 70 thousand tickets for advance sale of the V&A museum were sold out.

The "upgraded version" exhibition On the basis of the exhibits on the Metropolitan Museum, 66 costumes and accessories were added, totaling over 240 pieces. In the 27 screens of the V&A Museum, Alexander McQueen show scenes were displayed. The halo halo of the showroom shows the hologram of Kate Moss dressed in a white and complex lotus leaf skirt. It swirled under the movie "soundtrack of Schindler's list" and repeated the breathtaking scene of the autumn and winter fashion conference in Paris in 2006.

British edition Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman praised the unique style of the "fantastic master", "affecting a whole generation of designers. His brilliant imagination has no limits." However, perhaps it is because there are few designers in the fashion design world who can surpass him or be able to keep up with them.

In February 2010, McQueen, a genius designer, hanged himself in London, but it was really hard to forget him, because the goods and activities that were tagged with "McQueen" came one after another. Regardless of his brand name Alexander McQueen still active, fashion writers took turns trying to reveal his behind the scenes life with his penholder. So we saw "Alexander McQueen: the collection of the works of the godfather of the godfather" (2012), McQueen girlfriends, Alexander McQueen (Judith), a fashion historian at the central Saint Martin Institute, and a new book published by the fashion business reporter Dana Thomas in February this year, "the gods and kings: the rise and fall of Alexander McQueen and John garriano" in February.

In recent days, fashion magazine AnOther has made a breakthrough attempt to commemorate the death of McQueen in the first half of the year. In addition to a large number of related interviews, summaries and reports, the magazine also inserted a page with HD LED screen and super clear MP3 player cover in 440 pages of paper fashion magazines. It can play the background music of McQueen music show composer John Gosling for 09 years, autumn and winter, and 15 years of spring and summer show.

At the end of last year, the London Kerry Taylor auction house held a McQueen fashion auction. The early design of a "bag farts" waist trousers with a 3500 pound (32 thousand and 400 yuan) hammer price.

In the past five years, this wizard designer has been recalled from time to time. McQueen15, a London born worker, dropped out of school at the age of McQueen15 and ran apprenticeship to tailor shop on the Saville street. In 1992, McQueen entered Saint Martin Royal College of Art to study. Fashion design 。 When graduating, his first independent clothing conference attracted the attention of the famous British stylist Isabella Blow at that time, and bought the graduation works of McQueen at the high price of 5000 pounds (about 46 thousand and 300 yuan), and became an old friend since then.

In 1995, McQueen, 26 years old, revealed to the public a series of low buttocks "wrapped pants", deliberately ruined lace skirts and torn neckline designs at a fashion show called Highland Rape. It shocked the entire fashion world and became the target of young people in Britain. At the same time, it attracted the attention of luxury group LVMH.

A year later, the British "bad boy" was invited to take part in LVMH's French old fashion house Givenchy design clothing series. The era of his own will not begin until 2000. At that time, GUCCI group, which was bought by Kai Yun group in 2001, offered a proposal to McQueen to buy 51% of its brand name. The British designer was able to open his fashion show to Paris, the fashion capital of the other side of the English channel, among the top French fashion house echelons.

He once said arrogantly: "when I die one day, people will know that the fashion of twenty-first Century was opened by a man named Alexander McQueen." Red and green Russian military uniform jacket, African Python dress, butterfly head ornaments, and 25 centimeters. Donkey shoes All told the world that he did not boast of arrogance.

In order to expand the consumer group, McQueen worked hard to expand its brand line during the world. For example, he published the "Kingdom" perfume series and sunglasses Series in 2003. In 2005, McQueen and Puma jointly launched the Crossover series of men's and women's sports shoes, which increased the visibility of Alexander McQueen and laid the foundation for entering the sports fashion market.

Another reason for his unforgettable memory lies in his sudden death. Although McQueen himself did not give any last words, his friends, colleagues and critics all regarded his departure as a silent accusation against the current fashion industry. As a tragic representative, McQueen once said, "for them, you are just a commodity, and its value depends on your last design series." In order to deliver good results, executives always emphasize efficiency and reward, while designers turn from brand soul guardian to hired helper, and they can be disposed of like clothes and shoes created.

In 2010, McQueen ended his life 3 weeks before his show.
