Savage Beauty
The McQueen exhibition at the Met is incredible. People were waiting in line for hours to get in. Surely a show that has received so much hype wouldn’t be able to live up to my expectations, I thought as I walked in. Not so. Each room is perfectly presented and, to my mind, did McQueen absolute justice.
It begins with McQueen’s graduate collection and work from his time at Givenchy before moving on to his later work. One massive room is devoted to accessories and has films playing throughout with snapshots into some of his most extraordinary catwalk productions (cue robotic paint jobs from SS1999 and the chessboard from SS2005). Although there is vast variation between collections a core aesthetic carries between each room – making it remarkably evident that McQueen had a solid vision that was continuously perfected through each new collection. The room focusing on this AW1995 collection, Highland Rape, was my absolute favourite. The day we went the temperature was sitting at over 105 degrees. We walked across Central Park, felt serious sympathy for all the runners, and tried to slurp down our yoghurt before it melted into one giant puddle. A pretty heavenly day I’d have to say… if you happen to find yourself in New York, definitely check out Savage Beauty.
Wearing: random sunglasses bought on ebay, Ralph Lauren polo, Levi 501 diy shorts, white converse, YSL arty ring, and Half n’ Half bag from One Language. More photos here.
Argh you look so comfy even in the heat! I was living in my chucks all summer too
Ahh I am so jealous you got to see this exhibit! Would seriously love to go to new york any time soon.
You look like such a cool beauty! Can’t wait to see more and I miss youuuu xxx
I wish I could go to NYC and see the exibition! Very jealous. And you look extra tanned!
Perfect summer outfit, you so cute!! and you look SO tanned!
Gah miss Jenfer, you fit right in, look at you and your blue sparkly nail polish and red lipsss, soo jealous <3 (of NY of course)
I can tell the weather looks blistering hot, wear sun protection girl! Love your glittery nails…are you missing a foundation sponge?
Huh?! A foundation sponge? What are you talking about….
I wouldn’t want to live in the city, but I’m jealous when you get to go to the new exhibitions and see the new films on weekends. There’s nothing like that where I live and for once I’d like to do something at the weekend other than read some of my book and visit the local pub.

I know I’ve already said this multiple times (but it’s still true), but I just LOVE your NYC posts! Partly because I’m super excited for my own trip back there in September, and partly because you can tell how much love and excitement has gone into posts when they’re from a fun new adventure (hope I explained that right).
Also what is your nail polish here? It’s fantastic!

Thanks so much Briony! Totally explained it right! So glad the photos can help get you excited for your trip! Still have loads left to post!! There is wayyy too much inspiration bursting from New York! The nail polish is Chanel Blue Satin with an OPI for Sephora glitter on top… totally makes me feel like a little kid! xx
Ah thank you so much – have the Blue Satin, so need to hunt down the glittery topcoat! Absolutely loved all your NY posts!
