Beauty

Today I felt an accute need for an injection of beauty as I'm to make a transition from one reality to another. Beauty and the feeling it conjures up is the perfect medication for many of life's evils. It can soothe the most tormented of souls and the most weary of bodies. I suppose that is why we through the history of mankind has made it into something that borders on religion, for what do we worship as much as the the things that are pleasing to the eye?

Alexander McQueen fully understood the concept of beauty, as can be seen from these excerpts from the book that was produced for the exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
