MUSE OF THE WORLD: McQueen at the Met a Study in Romance; J. Crew Is Here, Queer, Get Into It; Proenza is Ready to Play Dress-Up

- At the McQueen press preview this morning, Stella McCartney and Sarah Burton shared their thoughts while Philip Treacy got a little misty-eyed over the Andrew Bolton-curated Alexander McQueen:Savage Beauty. Instead of a chronological trek through McQueenland, Bolton organized the exhibit into six themes: The Romantic Mind, Romantic Gothic, Romantic Nationalism, Romantic Exoticism, Romantic Primitivism, and Romantic Naturalism. I’ll be live-tweeting my experience at the Met tomorrow morning if you’re interested in seeing what Romantic Hysterical Crying looks like over Fashion Indie‘s Twitter, @fashionindie.  [Style File]

The American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity is a great exhibition by the costume institute. Visitors have the chance to see outfits from 1890 to 1940. I was there this weekend and I advise all the fashion lovers to go too. More info here.

The Superheroes have arrived at the MET.

I’m heading there tomorrow, but I got a special preview of the event from the likes of The New York Times (photos in the Gallery).

Original costumes from Spiderman, X-Men and Iron Man are on display along with original works of fashion art from Alexander McQueen, Moschino, and Giorgio Armani. Two of my favorite things are together for the first time ever. I could ravage Anna Wintour right now. Shit, I think I wet myself.

Be sure to hit up the exhibit pronto. I might get arrested for trying to steal some items tomorrow, but if I can get into the Iron Man suit quick enough I should be able to blast past security and steal Mystique body suit from X-men to enjoy a superhuman rendezvous later in the evening. Seriously, these are the thoughts that run through my head during the day. I know. I need help
