Discover the rich and diverse creativity of Lee Alexander McQueen (1969-2010), a towering presence in British fashion, through unique encounters with art. Known as the enfant terrible of fashion, McQueen's collections display daring, know-how, and innovation.
To illustrate the creative cycles of this genius, more than 225 items have been assembled, including 69 ensembles from the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), part of a donation by Regina J. Drucker, twinned with works of art from the LACMA and the MNBAQ. The resulting fascinating dialogues constitute a key event both for fashionistas and art lovers.
