And if today's piece in WWD on museums "getting fashionable" is any indication, they are. Harold Koda, curator in charge of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, told the trade, “Clearly the critical as well as popular success of the McQueen show suggests that fashion design has a more secure place in the precincts of an art museum.” While any museum would be hard-pressed to recreate the magic that was "Savage Beauty," more fashion exhibits are popping up all over the world and several big ones are already on track to debut next year.

LONDON--Designer Osman Yousefzada claims to accomplish with pattern cutting what plastic surgeons do with scalpels. On Friday afternoon in the chasmic Raphael Gallery of London's trove of ancient art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, he aimed to demonstrate just that.

Previous homegrown talents showcased in the triannual events include the late Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh and Vivienne Westwood.
