I just wanted to dedicate a post to Alex London, a young fashion designer I met a couple of days ago at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Like me, she got yelled at twice for attempting to sketch the dresses at the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit.
I certainly felt her annoyance when I saw her at the exit doorway arguing with a guard, so naturally I started talking to her. And I’m glad I did because I learned this stylish chick is a fashion designer, and a highly talented one at that. Her pieces are McQueen-inspired, which isn’t surprising considering she interned for him. She was also celebrating her 21st birthday, so congrats on becoming legal, babe!
It is so irritating that photography and sketching are prohibited in special exhibits.

Love her style – those are are some really cool boots! Also loved the pics you managed to take in your last post. A shame they didn't even allow sketching. I guess it's all about copyright or perhaps they just want everyone to buy the book.
aldkjlasjdlajd I CANT BELIEVE YOU SAW SAVAGE BEAUTY. So jealous! Just saying.
Anyways, ah, I just checked out her site! Thank you oodles for sharing. She's very talented – love the details in all her clothes!
And it's ridiculous that you can't sketch at the exhibit. I wonder why not…

Ohh you weren't allowed to sketch? Hmm…why not? I'm sure they have an understandable reason, but I'm curious as to what it is!
