Just saw this on hintmag, I thought his boutique in the meatpacking
district was pretty cool, but this takes the cake. That sculpture
is badass.

No one would judge you too harshly for thinking, upon entering Alexander McQueen's new store in Los Angeles, that you'd stumbled onto the set of the next Terminator film (the store is in California, after all, with that
governor). But no, the boutique's centerpiece is not a cyborg
levitating through the skylight, nor is it a larger-than-life Academy
Award. It's a 9-foot-tall stainless-steel sculpture by British artist
Robert Bryce Muir, made to resemble the statue of Jesus looking down
over Rio. That's the kind of epic thinking that went into the
futuristic, otherwise stark white space that appears carved from a
single block of stone, and where McQueen's complete collections for
women and men can be found. The formula is really quite simple: McQueen
+ L.A. = action/drama. Next up, a Paris store in 2009. ?Liz Armstrong"
