I agree with you so ...Beautiful tribute post, dear. I agree with you so much, he has left such a void that can simply NEVER be filled. Talk of someone taking over the McQueen house is repulsing me because no *designer* can ever be like him. He was so, so much more, such a revolutionary who's talents and ability to reach into people expanded far beyond the clothes.<br /><br />xoxoxinayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359948999416918724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526520540665785460.post-43891359809411937892010-02-13T18:29:10.826-05:002010-02-13T18:29:10.826-05:00You're absolutely right.

Moments like that hologram, or the soft-focus romanticism of his F/W 08 collection, or even the asylum collection of 2001 suddenly have this emotional weight to them that wasn't apparent before. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting.Spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18255263661645642863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526520540665785460.post-79003855258127651722010-02-13T04:32:00.107-05:002010-02-13T04:32:00.107-05:00Thank you for your reflection.

Beauty is kind of a trap. to me his clothes always represented a complex introvert, a strong powerful person. With the circumstances of his death, I look back at his collections with a heavier feeling: The hologram kind of sums it up. <br /><br />I truly feel sad that someone who was able to transform people and make them feel confident and fantastic couldn't feel the same. It's starting to be a pattern i'm noticing- that those who give so generously have more fragile spirits and I don't mean that in negative sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
