If you have not yet paid tribute to one of the world’s most respected designers, it's go time -- there's just a little over a week more to see the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. You don’t have to be a fashion guru or fanatic, you just have to be someone who wants to see and be part of something amazing.
The exhibition closes August 7, and for the first time in history, the museum will be keeping extended hours, opening its doors until midnight on its last two days running (August 6 & 7). The exhibit flaunts a near two-decade collection of awe-inspiring, breathtaking and powerful pieces created by the late Alexander McQueen.
