QUÉBEC CITY, Quebec — High fashion is not generally accessible, practical, or even illuminating. We people on the pavement witness the excesses and outrages of modern shows and too often see prissy, regurgitated abstractions, silly gestures, emaciated bodies and absurd jumbles of material. Trash, vapidity, and cruelty are what we have come to expect from fashion at the edge, and we willing victims sometimes question our earnest naiveté.
Finally, however, with surprise and delight, we experience McQueen: Art Meets Fashion, the new show at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Québec City.
