#BringMcQueenExhibitionHome

So as soon as I heard the news that there was to be an Alexander McQueen Exhibition showcasing his most stunning and beautiful pieces from collections over the years - my heart lifted. How wonderful the thought was to see Lee McQueen's Armadillo shoes, his famous bumster torusers and all the outfits from Plato's Atlantis (SS10), The Horn of Plenty (FW09), La Dame Bleue (SS08), Sarabande (SS07), It's Only A Game (SS05), Pantheon Is Lecum (FW04) and The Dance of the Twisted Bull (SS02) - Just a few of my favourite collections Lee designed, despite every single one being so precious to me.
When I found out the exhibition would me and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York!! My heart really did sink to the deepest level. I was truly sad and my dreams of seeing Lee McQueen's work were shattered. The exhibition went on called: Savage Beauty. From the photo's that I saw, they did do a beautiful job of it and it really was a success:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced today that Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty is the eighth most visited exhibition in its 141-year history, putting the designer in the same category as exhibitions including Treasures of Tutankhamun (1978), Mona Lisa (1963), and Picasso in The Metropolitan Museum of Art(2010). In total 661,509 visitors viewed the exhibition during its run from May 4 to August 7, making it easily the most-viewed show since the Costume Institute became part of the Museum in 1946. - Vogue.com

I always thought of petitioning to get the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Exhibition to come to England and finally someone has done this! The lovely Melanie Rickey aka Fashion Editor at Large has started the petition to do so! It makes so much sense - Lee McQueen was born in England, he was English, he studied in London, he lived in London! HE BELONGS TO ENGLAND! And this is why the exhibition needs to come to England - it would be a dream come true (even though they should have started it in England in the first place..)
So please please click below and sign the petition! Not only this will be aprivelidge for people like me in the UK but also the rest of Europe. So sign the petition, as many times as you like! Pass the word on - post on your blogs, websites, twitter etc and lets #BringMcQueenExhibitionHome !!
