Introduction
The Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse exhibition is an Art museum that was designed to celebrate the works of the late Lee Alexander McQueen, who is remembered for his great contribution to the fashion industry at a time when technology was beginning to gain interest around the globe. A visit to the Art Museum is an opportunity to observe different types of fashion clothes modeled inside dummies. All these fashion clothes displayed were created by Lee Alexander McQueen, and they underline the vast potential of integrating technology with creativity and vision in the fashion industry.
Subject
The artwork is trying to portray designs of dresses. There are more than 70 types of dresses that are displayed on mannequins, and viewers can notice the innovative fashion designs located at the Art museum. A visitor to the art museum will notice the boldness of the artist in his designs and the intention to promote women's empowerment through his dresses. All these dress designs were inspired by past historical events that act as the subject of the artwork. We can therefore ascertain that each artwork contains its different subject, which is a historical event, and these events link with each other. The dresses are a mixture of aspects of tradition and cultural heritage while also considering the current market trends. The subject not only focuses on what happened, but it also focuses on what is happening and also what will happen in the future to stay relevant in the market. The subjects of the designs are also bound to bring controversy, and it shows the main character of McQueen as an individual.

The size of the dresses affects the work because they offer a human connection, especially to visitors who are attracted to dresses, such as women.
Proportions
The individual dress designs are observed from an individual perspective because they represent an event or a period in history that is distinct. Despite illustrating different historical events, one would be able to observe a recurring theme in most of the artworks. The Art museum enables its visitors to celebrate dark humor, which was one of the main characteristics of McQueen, while at the same time appreciating the quality of craftsmanship in the design. The artwork is naturalistic since it shows an actual historical event. For example, one of the dress designs relates to the Florentine Seraphim of the 15th century. The artwork conveys the theme of evolution and existence, and its naturalistic attribute is intended to stand the taste of time. While some of the artwork was mainly inspired by myths, there are some designs in the Art museum that focus on religious beliefs.
