Remembering The Great Edgar Allan Poe of Fashion

remembered and experienced by thousands through an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The incredibly gifted designer McQueen, certainly had an ambitious imagination. His designs are provocative, and outrageous; his work still continues to influence many. Hundreds and hundreds of people are lining up to see McQueen’s brilliant designs. 

McQueen always did what he wanted to do, and said what he wanted to say. In a recently discovered rare interview with Jennie Becker from Fashion Television in the late 1990s, McQueen voiced his feelings towards his audience after one of his shows at the time working for the House of Givenchy.  Watching the interview McQueen appears to be like any artist: vulnerable. It’s so difficult when one is so passionate about something, and literally eats, sleeps and breathes something, and to not have those feelings reciprocated has got to be tough. I think we are always our own worst critics, and it’s always heart breaking when people don’t feel their work is appreciated.
