WHEN I WORKED WITH ALEXANDER MCQUEEN ...

Click here to read an interesting article by Frédérique Renaut, a fashion and beauty director who worked closely with the late Alexander McQueen in the '90's when the designer famously took the reigns at Givenchy. The fashion world is still stinging from this tragic loss, and with rumors flying that the house McQueen built might be closed by Gucci Group, enthusiasts and fans the world over are looking to salvage any remaining pieces since they are bound to be highly-coveted collector's items. I thought perhaps Gareth Pugh would make a fitting successor to the label, but then again, who would want to work in the shadow of a man who many considered to be the greatest women's tailor in the world?

One of the most amazing things I've ever seen ... although it's an entirely different experience on a very large screen. I just got a new "television" (it's more like a portal to heaven) that is web-enabled and even though I've seen this short film countless times since it's release, I cannot stop watching it in HD on 50". Brilliant.
