‘Savage Beauty’ Exhibition comes to London’s V&A Museum

Public demand for fashion exhibitions seems insatiable and as they are now very commercially successful the museums are eager to please.
London now awaits with eager anticipation the arrival of the late Alexander McQueen’s ‘Savage Beauty’ exhibition, which was a huge success when opened in New York in 2011. Lets wait to see how the London crowds flock to see it when it opens on 24th March. It’s expected to far exceed the 300,000 visitors that went to see last year David Bowie’s exhibition.
