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.

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

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.
