Thank you. On my list, <b>Rio.</b></p> <p>I remember we were boarding a flight to NYC from Seattle and heading to NYFW, and seeing a twitter feed that McQueen ended his life that day. Tragic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mcqueen-at-givenchy#post-2240002 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 10:32:25 +0000 approprio 2240002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. I do hope you enjoy it as much as I did. McQueen is such an amazing source of inspiration, and this catches him at his most beguilingly demonic. </p> <p><b>Rachylou</b>, I can’t begin to explain the brutal dynamics of London’s class warfare that produced an artist of McQueen’s caliber. I can, however, turn it into an epic of urban fantasy fiction….</p> <p><b>Bijou</b>, not sure I could chose a favorite, because he covered so much ground in such a short time, and pushed the boundaries of what was possible. Those last two, Horn of Plenty and Plato’s Atlantis still blow me away though. This is not fashion. This is high art.&nbsp;</p> <p>And then he was gone. :(</p> <p><b>Shevia</b>, you know, after all these years I am still kicking myself for missing out on the Vogue patterns, which came out at about the same time, when I wasn’t doing much of <i>that</i> kind of sewing. That suit though. I look at it and think, eh y’know, maybe €900 is not that much…&nbsp;Who knows. Maybe it will just turn up one day, like Bijou’s Bao Bao purse.&nbsp;Hopefully, posting a picture won’t jinx it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mcqueen-at-givenchy#post-2239961 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 02:51:35 +0000 Jaime 2239961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) So nice to have my find appreciated! I actually haven't seen the documentary yet, but it is on my list.

I really miss his collections and amazing talent. The Widows of Culloden was my personal favourite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mcqueen-at-givenchy#post-2239911 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 22:07:05 +0000 Tanya 2239911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!

Definitely watching this . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mcqueen-at-givenchy#post-2239902 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 19:37:59 +0000 rachylou 2239902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d forgotten about Givenchy… I guess that makes me old! He’s so interesting to watch. He’s really manly and not fastidious in presentation of himself. Not how you think of an ‘English tailor’… from reading too many romance novels involving comedic vampires… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mcqueen-at-givenchy#post-2239882 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 17:30:18 +0000 Jonesy 2239882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing this; I will definitely watch it when I have a moment! McQueen was a very complicated, interesting person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mcqueen-at-givenchy#post-2239878 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 17:08:31 +0000 approprio 2239878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Between shevia’s fabulous pants and Chris987’s leopard vest, I got to thinking of a particular fashion moment: Alexander McQueen’s stint as lead designer at Givenchy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I found this <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=542vMeyma4g">BBC documentary</a>&nbsp;from that very&nbsp;period, some of which made it into the biopic that came out a few years ago. And then some.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you love McQueen and enjoyed the movie, this is well worth a watch. Not sure if it makes me feel young, or old.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: shevia, cherish those trousers! Pass them down as a family heirloom. They are a piece of fashion history.&nbsp;</p>
