Lee McQueen ... King of the tailored dress. I am lucky to have a few pieces which I will treasure, he could make a real woman with real boobs and muffin tops look sexy and sirenesque I will miss him he was my hero x Great post I love a red dress x
Wildernesschic - this is so awful as his mum died last week. He must have been so grief stricken. Dreadful loss and selfishly I'd scheduled to interview him next month although I was anticipating it being rescheduled. It was about red dresses of course. His poor family must be devastating for his siblings
Oh, Kate - I didn't know that his mother just died. Maybe he was delerious with grief? I'm so sorry that he's gone - and that we won't have the benefit of your great interview with him to know him better.
Thank you everyone - he has been such an influential person and in some ways we've taken it all for granted - the visual spectacle, the shows, the clothes. After all for Lee it was a job, a job he loved and was brilliant at but we forget the person in our adoration of the design. Sometimes the design is prized more than the person and that distorts ones sense of self.
