Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty
2011 EXHIBIT FEATURED AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
“The McQueen show has become a little bit of an albatross in a way, a bit of a millstone around my neck. It’s the show that every show I’ve done subsequently has been measured against.”
-Bolton says in The First Monday in May, who curated the McQueen exhibit before becoming the head of the department in 2015.
CHINA: THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
VOGUE TRAVELS TO CHINA TO PROMOTE THE MET GALA’S 2015 EXHIBIT AND GATHER FEEDBACK ON THE PRESENTATION, FOCUSED ON KEEPING RESPECT FOR THE CULTURE.
DURING THIER VISIT, WINTOUR AND BOLTON ARE QUESTIONED BY THE PRESS IN REGARDS THE EXHIBIT AND POINT OUT INCONSISTENCIES WITH CULTURAL FACTS. THE TEAM WAS INTERVIEWED BY MULTIPLE CHINESE JOURNALISTS WHO SHARED A COMMON CONCERN, REGARDING THE EXHIBIT’S PRESENTATION OF MAO ZEDONG, (CHINESE COMMUNIST REVOLUTIONARY AND FOUNDING FATHER OF THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA 1949 – 1976). THE EXHIBIT FEATURED ZEDONG IN A ROOM FULL OF BUDDHA SCULPTURES, CONCERN BEING THAT ZEDONG WAS NOT BUDDHIST. BOLTON AND WINTOUR EXPLAINED THAT IT SHOULD BE TAKEN IN AN ARTISTIC SENSE RATHER THAN REALIST.
THE “CHINA: THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS” EXHIBIT IS THE LARGEST COSTUME XHIBIT TO DATE, INCLUDING 150 COSTUMES FROM MORE THAN 40 DESIGNERS AND 15 GALLERIES.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG, IS TO EMPOWER AND INSPIRE INDIVIDUALS TO PURSUE THIER PASSION DAILY AND STRIVE TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF THEMSELVES. AS AN ADVOCATE FOR WOMEN, IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT BEAUTY IS NOT ONLY ABOUT VANITY AND EXTERNAL APPEARANCE, AND TO EMBRACE BEING EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL WITHIN, BEING A “TRIPLE THREAT.” ONE WHO DISPLAYS ACTS OF KINDNESS, WELL VERSED AND EDUCATED, INDEPENDENT, EXUDING CONFIDENCE AND A HIGH SENSE OF SELF, IN ADDITION TO BEING GORGEOUS ALONG WITH AMBITION AND INTEGRITY IN THEMSELVES. I HOPE TO EMPOWER OTHERS TO ACHIEVE TRUE CONFIDENCE AND SUCCESS. NOW, TYPICALLY, I WOULD NOT TAKE ON SUCH A CHALLENGE, UNLESS I WAS HUMBLED BY LIFE WITH ONLY 2 CHOICES; SINK OR SWIM. NEVERTHELESS, I AM HERE TO LET YOU KNOW, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR LIFE TO HAPPEN TO BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELVES. WORK IT BECAUSE YOU’RE WORTH IT!! “DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THE WAYS OF THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.”
