While in NYC in May, I saw THE most incredible exhibit I have EVER seen. Alexander McQueen’s Savage Beauty Exhibit at the Met left me awestruck. It was almost more performance art than exhibit because of the intensity of the mood. The music, the lighting, but most importantly the talent. All of that coupled with the way Alexander McQueen passed away gave you an insight into the tortured mind of a true artist. It was absolutely incredible. I could really go on and on, but I think the images speak for themselves.

If you plan to visit New York or are in the area, this is a must see! The exhibit is running through August 7th.

Just before Alexander McQueen passed away, he designed one last collection for one of my favorite rug company’s around… The Rug Company. The result is an insanely high-fashion and unexpected rug collection. I am determined to use one of these rugs in a client’s home very soon.

The best part about true art is that it sparks conversation…

How do you feel about Alexander McQueen’s work?

Too twisted and dark OR do you think it’s just amazing?
