    Very illuminating - thanks. There are precious few perceptive insider accounts of the "creative industries" to be found. Those paragraphs get closer to the truth than most writing on McQueen, and on fashion in general, ever cares to.

      You are very welcome Mr.Small; McQueen was truly a master of his craft. For his body of work to be so strong so early on in his only proves how much talent he had. One of the main reasons I was drawn to his work was his tailoring, thank you for the background information.

            Once upon a time.
            With an Allen Jones coffee table, no less – and to no surprise.

            We miss you, Alexander.

                  After seeing this post I decided to investigate the website. Thought these were relevant.

                    Of course we'll never know if it's true.

                          It's amazing how fresh the womens looks and how dated the mens.

                              We should mention the price as well, really unfair for us

                              I wonder what would happen to the McQueen label, the guy was a genuine until he finally gave up on this world - very irony indeed!
