The Victoria & Albert Museum will exhibit Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty in London in spring 2015. The first and largest retrospective of the late designer’s work to be presented in Europe, the exhibition will showcase McQueen’s visionary body of work. Spanning his 1992 MA graduate collection to his unfinished A/W 2010 collection, McQueen’s designs will be presented with the dramatic staging and sense of spectacle synonymous with his runway shows.

First held in 2011 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it features haute couture clothing created by the British fashion designer as well as accessories created for his runway shows.
