Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty @ Harvey Nichols (London, UK)

If, like me, you're not in New York at the moment (or anytime soon), you're most likely feeling a little bummed to be missing the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition, currently on display at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If you happen to be in London though, here's the next best thing: in order to celebrate the opening of said exhibition and as a way to commemorate the late Lee McQueen, Harvey Nichols has 15 of his pieces on display, spanning over a decade. The UK department store is the only one to have been chosen for this honor - and though the showcase won't match the real thing in NYC, the pieces in the windows are still stunning to behold.

Of course if you're not in NYC or London, I would highly recommend purchasing the Savage Beauty book, which is easily available (and on sale!) via Amazon here.

Below you'll find all the pieces in the Harvey Nichols store windows, including shots of some of the beautiful details. The windows will be up until the end of May, so head on over if you get a chance - they're definitely worth a look.
