McQueen to Sarah: "You have to be able to stand behind your work."
“I thought: how would I ever begin to begin? Lee’s mind was so different to anyone else’s. I knew there was no way I could pretend to be him; but I had to ask myself, what did Lee work for? For all this just to close down?”
“People ask: what’s Sarah about? But I’ve worked here for so long, there’s been a big part of me in those collections all along the way. I’m not going to wipe the slate clean. That would be wiping me away. There will always be those McQueen elements, but at the same time, you can never stay still and you have to stay true to yourself. That’s what Lee drummed in to me: you have to be able to stand behind your work.”
