Alexander McQueen

I was very sad yesterday to hear of the passing of Alexander McQueen.  Here is a link to an article in today's Wall Street Journal.  Wendy Brandes has links to more news coverage on her blog. 

Of course I didn't know the man, but I admired his creativity and talent.  His runway shows were inspiring, and his tailoring was beautiful.  I never bought a suit by McQueen because by the time he was making a name for himself I no longer needed suits, but I had thought that once I get my own personal reconfiguring settled, I could treat myself to one of his tailored pieces. 

 Alas, it shall not be.

I will however, wear one of my favorite sweaters, a little red McQueen number my sweetie gave me a couple of years ago to dinner tomorrow night.

Heartbreaking.

A tragic loss. And, what a lovely sweater. It is beautiful on you.

Thank you.

For a person who really hates being photographed I am finding it difficult to get past the stiff stand and stare at the camera pose.  But I think there are good sides.  I do love the neckline on that sweater.

What a terrific tribute - and you look gorgeous in that sweater.
