More thoughts on McQueen
Further to my last post, and to my Collections report on the Alexander McQueen show, I thought it was worth sharing an excerpt from an email I just wrote to thank the McQueen team for inviting me to this evening's presentations:
Lots of people in fashion feel they are 'entitled' to see something, to sit somewhere, to be someone. I felt incredibly privileged and happy to have been able to see this collection first-hand. It is something I will remember and cherish forever.
I'm not an overwhelmingly emotional person, especially when it comes to fashion, but today's show was hard to leave without shedding a tear. I made it to the courtyard.
Although the clothes - exquisitely wrought, perfectly conceived and impeccably realised - spoke to me aesthetically, I was touched equally by the attitude of the McQueen team, the profound respect they showed for Lee McQueen's memory and their bravery in continuing his work under the most difficult of circumstances.
