Someone fly me to New York to see “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, please.
Warning: This exhibition is very romantic.
The dress you see at 6:33 is called the “Oyster” dress (second to the right of this photo):
Pinch me, is this dress real?!
I kinda wanna make a dress out of toilet paper and tissue paper for a Barbie now.
This drowned gown kind of reminded me of a dress I wore when I was a toddler. After years of wear and tear, the silk underskirt and chiffon mesh started to unravel.
Very quiet shipwreck chic. Too bad I am a decade too old to wear it again or else I would pretend to be a McQueen muse!
For more information about the Oyster dress and to see it in motion, visit the Metropolitan Museum’s website.
amazing.
