From Givenchy and all that gold with the cupids on the pillars – I remember there was a story in the news about it – in New Zealand for goodness sake. From chunky to slim, from skulls to aliens, from amputees to live graffiti, shows as amazing as the clothes – I used to actually watch them online. Homogenic and other graphic and art design genius. Ah Lee. So great. I can’t believe how much of my fashion memory features Alexander McQueen. Perhaps it’s becuase my Vogue interest which started in 1992 became an obsession around 1996 when he started at Givenchy when I began to religiously collect every issue of UK and US Vogue from 1994 to 2008.
There’s no equivalent.
