The exhibition, which is set to be the first and largest retrospective of McQueen’s work to be presented in Europe, will showcase the late designers legendary body of work – from his 1992 MA graduate show to his tragically unfinished autumn/winter 2010 collection.

“Savage Beauty is a celebration of the most imaginative and talented designer of our time. Lee was a genius and a true visionary who pushed the boundaries, challenged and inspired.
