ArtQuest Gets a McQueen-Inspired Makeover!

Martin ArtQuest is looking super stylish with stations inspired by our Lee Alexander McQueen & Ann Ray: Rendez-Vous exhibition! We are thrilled to present twelve design sketches by McQueen to inspire guests to create looks for their own spring/summer ’24 collection. The Drawing in the Round station features our mannequin glamorously dressed in a McQ garment with a headpiece inspired by McQueen collaborator Philip Treacy’s elaborate creations. Other exhibition-focused activities include dress-up magnets, a photo framing exercise, and books about fashion and friendship.
