The museography focuses on the artistry, creativity, and body of work of the prolific Scottish designer from 1990 to 2010.

LACMA’s buoyant exposition spotlights the dresses, fabrics, and accessories of the fashion virtuoso who killed himself in 2010 at the age of 39, right after the passing of his mother. 

The museum displays many classy McQueen garments from the Regina J. Drucker Collection, joining with other LACMA’s permanent collection artworks.
