"The exhibition, organized by The Costume Institute, will celebrate the late Alexander
McQueen's extraordinary contributions to fashion. From his postgraduate collection
of 1992 to his final runway presentation which took place after his death in February
2010, Mr. McQueen challenged and expanded the understanding of fashion beyond utility
to a conceptual expression of culture, politics, and identity. His iconic designs
constitute the work of an artist whose medium of expression was fashion. Approximately
one hundred examples will be on view, including signature designs such as the bumster
trouser, the kimono jacket, and the Origami frock coat, as well as pieces reflecting
the exaggerated silhouettes of the 1860s, 1880s, 1890s, and 1950s that he crafted
into contemporary silhouettes transmitting romantic narratives. Technical ingenuity
imbued his designs with an innovative sensibility that kept him at fashion's vanguard."
