Here is a screenshot of the met museums website in which a few of Alexander Mcqueen garmets from his collection “Plato’s Atlantis” were exhibited.

I surprisingly found this task very interesting. How easy it was to find things that followed on from each other especially when it come to fashion collections. At the beginning I did find it difficult to pick an image from a book as I was concerned whether or not id be able to find a website that would follow on or even a museum exhibition that would relate to the image that I had originally found. However, I was happily surprised when I picked up the Alexander Mcqueen book and scanned through to find my first image. Mcqueen is a big inspiration to me resulting in him being the reason why I started fashion design in the first place. I was even happier when I went online and discovered that daze magazine online had an article based on the collection that Mcqueen was posing for in the first image. Due to it being a well known collection I then knew I would be able to find it being exhibited in a museum somewhere, which it was the met. I’m glad I did do this task as I’m now more open to search though museum archives into finding relatable exhibitions to my current projects.
