Which show tho? I assume fall 2009?

i think so too, the fall one is way more iconic than the spring one

Seeing some of the actual collection (and all of the other pieces from his various collections actually) in person at the Savage Beauty exhibit was like... a spiritual awakening, I can't even explain it - but as an artist, it was deeply moving to me. /nerd

I'm so sad I never got to see that exhibit.

I saw some of his stuff at the Isabella Blow exhibit in London a few years ago and it was literally like a religious experience

My school had some pieces of his and they were beyond beautiful.
And of course at the MET during their several exhibitions.
