The Times has just reported that Alexander McQueen was having financial difficulties when he committed suicide. It is so sad, yet very believable. Making money in the fashion industry is very difficult, and McQueen’s business was yet to make a profit.
What does this say about the future of fashion, if one of our most beloved designers, whose talent was celebrated worldwide, and who had the backing of one of the largest luxury conglomerates in the world, couldn’t make ends meet? The industry has changed so much since I started 15 years ago, I hate to think what it is going to be like 15 years from now.
These images were posted on a new blog I am following, called Kate Loves Me (which is pretty good!) These are from the Alexander McQueen Fall Winter 2010 press day. The pieces are stunning, and I hope I can get my hands on a piece from the last McQueen collection. See the rest of the amazing photos here.
