Because visiting New York is something that isn’t in the cards for me this summer, I was pleased to find a gallery of photos of the Alexander McQueen: Savage exhibit at the Met on Models.com. As expected, I got chills looking at the pictures alone. Check out the rest of them here.

“The fashion community in general got me much earlier than everyone else. But actually, I felt truly embraced by this London cultural movement, that McQueen, Isabella, Daphne Guinness wing of the English crowd. I remember when I first started doing photo shoots, people would say, ‘My God, you look so much like Isabella Blow, it scares me.’ And McQueen used to say, ‘Oh, my God, your boobs!’ He actually grabbed both of them and said, ‘Even your boobs are like hers!’ ”
Quote Du Jour: Daphne Guinness- “I don’t love this resurrection of dead labels”
My opinion counts betch!
“Sarah’s brilliant — I loved her last collection. She worked with Lee for so long so she knows what to do. She’s not Lee but I think he’d be happy with her doing it. She learnt from him. Other than McQueen, I don’t love this resurrection of dead labels. There are so many talented young designers and so many of them end up working under other people’s labels. They should be doing their own thing.”
-Daphne Guinness reveals her love for Alexander McQueen’s successor, Sarah Burton.
Quote Du Jour: Oscar De La Renta to Michelle Obama “Why do you wear European clothes?”
Oh here go hell come?
“My understanding is that the visit was to promote American-Chinese trade — American products in China and Chinese products in America. Why do you [Michelle Obama] wear European clothes?”
-Oscar De La Renta says about the Alexander McQueen dress Obama wore to the State Dinner.

The 16-year-old from Kansas, Lindsey Wixson, has been chosen to front the latest Alexander McQueen campaign. Lindsey’s received a lot of flack because of her age and weight. What do you think?
Quote Du Jour: Sarah Burton Talks About Taking On McQueen’s Label
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.”
-Sarah Burton reveals to Vogue.
Quote Du Jour: Naomi Campbell Misses McQueen’s Advice- “He Was Always Right”
“While we worked together many times, ours was a true friendship. He was very sincere and supportive. He would always call me up and offer advice. And, you know what, he was always right.”
-Naomi Campbell says about the late Alexander McQueen.

UPDATE: McQueen Settles With Hells Angels By Destroying Merch With Skull Logo
Alexander McQueen "Hells Four Finger Ring"
Destroying? Destroying? NO. After filing a lawsuit against Alexander McQueen for using their trademarked Death Skull logo, the Hells Angels have settled with the fashion house. Alexander McQueen has agreed to pull all merchandise containing the logo as well as references to the Hells Angels like the Hells Angels Jaquard Dress, rings and clutches.
Now this way serious part: McQueen also has to recall all the merchandise in question and destroy it.
We can’t imagine many customers being excited about sending that stuff back.
Lesson Learned: Don’t fuck with the Hells Angels right?
