I have not idea what to say about this tragic loss…. McQueen was my hero- my inspiration- my favorite. To think that there will be no more of his incredible work- that it’s over- is hard to fathom. I went to Central St. Martins solely in order to follow in his footsteps- I grilled my teachers and fellow students who had worked for him to learn everything I could about his personality- his creative process. Everyone spoke of his innovation- with the invention of “the Bumsters” (pants that showed ass cleavage) for his senior show propelling him into stardom- I have always felt that his work belonged in a category of its own- fiercly original, sometimes grotesque, sometimes funny, but always breathtakingly beautiful. I remember going to the Victoria and Albert Museum, as a textile student, to see his early gowns on display- McQueen treated fabric as a sculptural medium – he broke the atom wide open. I am very very sad.

As always, I am going through a crazy boot hunt- we have tons on new goodies at the shop- from old riding boots to Farragamo loafers. Here are a few objects of my affection….
Halston.
My Chanel babies. I love youuuuu.
Alexander Wang.
VIvienne Westwood forever!
Alexander Wang.
Cut off your old cowboy boots!
No idea who made these- but they are fierce!
I’m obsessed with this Ann Demuelemeester collection….
A little Anjelica on a sunny day- love her modeling shots for Halston.
Halston with Bianca Jagger, Liza Manelli, and Michael Jackson- is that the girl from Last Tango in Paris next to Michael?
those fierce black sequin wedge booties are by Sigerson Morrison.
