“McQueen was daring, original, exciting. He shook up the establishment with his creativity and understood what it takes to be a great British ambassador for fashion. I admired him very much. He was a fashion revolutionary that, like me, made the journey from [Central] Saint Martins to Paris where he put his own unique mark on the industry. He will not be forgotten.” MadeCreativityJourneyFashionIndustryUniqueUnderstoodExcitingMarkOriginalsForgottenSaintBritishLike MeRevolutionaryParisEstablishmentDaringAmbassadorsMcqueen Author:John Galliano

“Fashion Week was at Bryant Park and there were a few shows like Marc Jacobs, or when Alexander McQueen came to town, that were offsite, Helmut [Lung] was offsite, but it was very intimate. It wasn't the way it is today where you have a thousand people at the show. You may have had 200 to 250 and it was really the trade and you know fashion greats.” PeopleKnowsWayMayShowsTodayWeekFashionThousandTownsTradeIntimateParksLungsJacobMcqueenFashion Week Author:Roopal Patel
