Goodbye to McQueen and Hello to Prada and Schiaparelli



We got very excited about Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty exhibit leaving the Costume Institute at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, mainly because we hoped it would be headed to London. But we didn't think about what it would be replaced with…until now. 

Well, we don't even have to think and let our imaginations run wild with a world of possibility, because the rumour mill has been turning and has done all the guesswork for us. Apparently the next big names to be honoured at the Met will be Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada - not a bad followup. 

We're very interested to see how this develops. Schiaparelli's exhibit at the Philiadelphia Museum of Art attracted over 80,000 visitors in 2003, so imagine what injecting a little bit of Prada into the mix will do for audience figures? Watch this space!
