If ever there was a time to expose yourself to a little bit of culture, the time is now. Rather then learning more about fashion icon Alexander McQueen on your laptop, take a trip to The Metropolitian Museum Of Art to see a new exhibit entitled "Savage Beauty" or read the book about his trend setting career of the same title. A trip to a museum is a refreshing break from the norm and reading...well...it's fundamental. Step away from iPad people...



The Metropolitian Museum Of Art presents:
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty
May 4, 2011–July 31, 2011

And the book...

Alexander McQueen "Savage Beauty" ($27.00):






A description from the Barnes and Noble site:
Synopsis:
Alexander McQueen (1969-2010) was one of the most influential, imaginative, and inspirational designers at the turn of the millennium. His fashions both challenged and expanded the conventional parameters of clothing beyond utility to a compelling expression of culture, politics, and identity. Focusing on the most iconic and acclaimed designs of his prolific career, this stunning book examines McQueen's inimitable technical virtuosity and its subversion of traditional tailoring and dressmaking practices.

The book also focuses on the highly sophisticated narrative structures found in McQueen's collections and in his astonishing and extravagant runway presentations, which suggested the most avant-garde installation and performance art. Intended as an assessment of Alexander McQueen's entire career, the book includes in-depth studies of six collections that illustrate and encapsulate thematic chapters as well as an interview with Sarah Burton, the new creative director of Alexander McQueen who had been the designer's right-hand design aide since 1996.
