Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, a retrospective of the late fashion designer's work, opens at the V&A on 14 March and runs until 2 August 2015.
The show features works from throughout McQueen's career, from his 1992 MA graduate show to his unfinished autumn/winter 2010 collection.
Savage Beauty is 2014's must-see exhibition, with 30,000 advance tickets selling out in record time. The V&A has released a further 50,000 tickets and extended the run. In addition, 200 tickets will be available every day on the door on a first-come-first-serve basis.
