V & A MUSEUM, EXHIBITION OF FASHION

V & A MUSEUM, SOUTH KENSINGTON HAS AN EXHIBITION OF WORK BY  THE LATE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Alexander McQueen is the designer I know very little about, except that his fashion design was delightfully surreal and unconventional.

I visited the 'block-buster' exhibition intending to do a quick drawing or two, but found out at the entrance that drawing was not permitted.  This was a big disappointment.  

I walked along to the Fashion Department of the Museum and stopped to draw one of the display cases, where the lighting was very dim.   The displays were of 1960s clothes, including Mary Quant, Jean Paul Gautier and Perla, the maker of iconic lady's underwear.  Here is the sketch.
