IDTSD creative director spent the past week in New York, while there, she had the opportunity to view the Alexander McQueen “Savage Beauty” exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Words cannot describe the experience to study up-close the meticulous couture details and exquisite tailoring of the brilliant McQueen. McQueen as one of fashion’s most influential, imaginative and inspiring designers in his short 19 year career. He challenged and expanded our understanding of clothing beyond utility to a conceptual expression of culture, politics and identity. Sadly, McQueen died in 2010.
While in NYC for continuing education, trend focus sessions and attending international textile markets, she also had the opportunity to renew her acquaintance with mentor Tim Gunn, during the final filming of Project Runway. While there, elimination was taking place to select the final designers that will come back with their collections to show at Fashion Week in September. Be sure to view the season opener of Project Runway on July 28th to watch what happens!
