This blog has been far more technology focused in the last few months. I'm not sure why since I've been as interested in all of the other topics that I have written about in the past – fashion, cars, architecture etc.
I've decided to pay homage to Alexander McQueen. I've always found his work to be intriguing. He managed to capture the zeitgeist coupled with impeccable tailoring. I will miss his vision. I imagine working on his final collection was difficult for him emotionally. Seeing pictures of it and the motifs he used – the afterlife – clearly this was a man who wanted to leave this earth and go into the next. It's ironic because he managed to foretell the future with his vision.
Thanks to Gilt Groupe, I own an Alexander McQueen overcoat. It's not very warm so it's really doesn't do the job that I wanted it to do. But it looks stunning. I will treasure it until I reach the place where he is now. RIP McQueen.
