Out and About - Savage Beauty

The V&A, easily our fave London museum, are very much known for putting on spectacular exhibitions, so naturally we were pretty excited when it was announced that the fashion legend that is Lee Alexander McQueen would have his work showcased. Having missed out on online tickets, we waited for the initial rush to die down (oozing with jealousy over every single bod on our IG feed who went before us!) and finally got to see the exhibition about a month ago.. and wasn't it worth the wait!

If you're the slighest bit interested in fashion, this is definitely a must see. Delving into the mind of one of the greatest creators, seeing all those show stopping pieces up close seeing the process of how one became the other - it was fantastic. The exhibition is on until 2nd August so there's still chance to catch this breath-taking collection
