In Vogue: McQueen of Hearts.

It is such a bittersweet moment to write this post. Although I am thrilled that my letter-to-the-editor was published in the July issue of Vogue, it makes my heart ache all over again knowing that such a great man with such potential is no longer here. Alexander was such a passionate being, but seeing his countenance and his eyes reinforce how much I wish I could have been his friend and how much I wish I could have been there for him in his sadness. Countless people admired and respected him and countless are as shocked as I am that he wanted to escape the beautiful world that he was surrounded by.

What a lovely homage written for one visualist by another. In Hamish Bowles' piece, McQueen's life and success were as vividly depicted and given as much detail as he put into his georgette gowns. I have been following the McQueen brand from the beginning, and this tribute made me feel a part of his world, with weekends at the Hilles estate accompanied by the aesthetic nurturing of Isabella Blow. Thank you for publishing such a heart warming article on my beloved Scotsman.
