Alexander McQueen opens a free exhibition, Roses<\/em>, on the top floor of their Old Bond Street store on the 30 November 2019.<\/p>\n

The garden of dresses is structured around two archival centrepieces: A sculptural piece \u201cRed Rose dress\u201d from the recent Autumn\/Winter 2019, and Lee McQueen\u2019s finale gown for his Sarabande Spring\/Summer 2007 collection.<\/p>\n

Co-curated by the brand\u2019s Creative Director, Sarah Burton, the exhibition is dedicated to young talent as a site of inspiration.<\/p>\n

Roses<\/em>\u00a0veers from the norm, speaking to Vogue<\/em> Burton said, \u201cI want to show how community is at the heart of everything we do at Alexander McQueen. Right from the beginning, when I started with Lee, from Central Saint Martins is 1996, and there were only a few of us, he gave everyone – the interns as well, hands-on experience in making things.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibition challenges the usual air of mystery that surrounds luxury fashion, Burton’s\u00a0committed\u00a0to in sharing her vision and knowledge with future designers.<\/p>\n

A dress in the Spring\/Summer 2020 show worn by model Stella Tennant was embroidered with sketches made by Central Saint Martins students during a fashion illustration session held by the luxury brand earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Showcased on the top floor of the new Mayfair flagship shore, the inspirations and research behind each collection are displayed in detail.<\/p>\n
