the last Queen

"You have some big shoes to fill, I hope you know that." That is what McQueen's substitute (if they ever find anyone remotely close to him in genius) will be told on his first day at work. It is devastating to think that those 16 looks that walked the catwalk today in Paris are the last from one of the most creative minds we will ever know. McQueen's FW10 collection was brimming with royal, ecclesiastical and ornithological references. You can see his hand in every printed pleat and every gilded fabric. His painstaking pieces are the most beautiful conclusion of a legacy that has forever imprinted fashion history.

The other day I read that cameras would be banned, I guess they changed their minds then. It's so sad that this is his last work.

He had a great mind. It's such a loss that these are going to be the last we see of him.
