McQueen is Dead, Long Live McQueen.
Yesterday I deleted a post I'd been writing called 'Alexander McQueen and why you should give a shit.' I deleted it because I was struggling to articulate why it was that I loved him and his work so much. He was a hero, he was one of my main inspirations and it was the only place I ever really wanted to work. I was offered a chance to do a placement with him but was offered a job and due to money (lack thereof) I had to take the job instead of the placement, I figured that I'd always have the chance later on. I won't. His no bullshit attitude and huge work ethic made him what he was and it's horrible that he's passed on.

McQueen is dead. Long live McQueen!
ReplyDeleteI can't take it in really...
ReplyDeleteI got really disillusioned about the whole fashion industry but McQueen was just pure raw talent, I could never have lost any respect for him.
Lost for words, to be honest. x
