I stood in the very long line at the Metropolitan Museum and then took exuberant notes on the Alexander McQueen exhibit.  Later, I wrote a movie review of Miranda July's The Future, with a goal of 250 words or less.

One was in my notebook, and one was not. 

What I found:

AMcQ:
Ah, the seams and the exquisite hand + the materials (red tinted medical slides) + the [exhibit] names (Nihilism, Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims, Highland Rape [alluding to England's rape of Scotland], Banshee, The Girl Who Lived in a Tree) + the revolution --

"I want to empower women.  I want people to be afraid of the women I dress." --

all emanating like flames from a masterful base of line + seam + quality, quality, quality craftsmanship where the tailor becomes visionary becomes icon becomes iconoclast. 

"I think everyone has a deep sexuality and sometimes it's good to use a little of it -- and sometimes a lot of it -- as a masquerade." 

Wood fan as skirt. 
The staging of shows: rain, holograms, underwater.

Hats: butterflies; wooden Japanese houses; peacock in branches; vertabrae back, shoulderpiece in metal.  He does not neglect the head and shoulders.  Most everyone has face-masks in leather or durian-like bronze + always the cut + draping + shaping + filigree of it all makes you ache.
