Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for posting such high-res versions of these images... I've been going crazy trying to find some even tried calling the Met... but was sadly turned down poo...

I hope some high-res ones come out of the second set... so ungodly beautiful.

I can not being to tell you how excited I am for this exhibit!

I really think I'm going to need the catalog this year.

US Vogue are also running an app for the iPad for the exhibit (That will be updated on the 2nd and 6th May), in the app they have featured a re-cap of the past 5 or 6 years exhibits at the MET but also a feature on McQueen, various editorial images from US Vogue, an Article by Hamish Bowles (Which I'm almost positive is from the March 2010 issue, but I'm not 100% sure) and an image accompanying it that i'd never seen before, a portrait of McQueen with his Atelier staff photographed by Annie Leibovitz for the September 2000 issue of US Vogue.

^I thought that book would be much more expensive! Like, at least $150 or something! (Though it is more expensive in my country, it should be around 40CHF when you convert the US list price but it's 65CHF) Can't wait to get the book, it looks so good! Thanks everyone for the previews and articles!

You can pre-order it with the MET online, Amazon and i would presume you could pre-order it with McQueen, I've pre-ordered mine with Amazon.

Might go check it out at the McQueen shop on New Bond Street.

Does anyone know where to pre-order the limited edition?

"I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists. I have to force people to look at things."

The previews looks quite interesting. The mannequins posed strangely or rather that I'm not use to seeing, the clothes of course and the quote I read of artists finding beauty in ugliness which resonates with me.

If your referring to the Scarf, i would presume you can pre-order from your nearest McQueen boutique, but it will be available online.
