Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty, at the Metropolitan Museum

Yesterday I saw this show for a second time, and it feels even more amazing than the first time. I could see details I missed the first time, other details that I did see but this time I got to see a different meaning. I really have to see it again, before it closes down (August 7). Stunning!

...Every collection told a story. When you watched one of McQueen’s collections, you were always having these feelings of awe or wonder or fear or terror...
