It’s Saturday and I am feeling quite lazy so I decided to watch Mcqueen and i, a documentary on Alexander Mcqueen. I have a bit of knowledge of his art and fashion however I was keen to know more behind the inspiration of the great Alexander himself.
Play……
The documentary was by far the best programme I have seen in a long while, it focused on the muse himself and the people he surrounded himself with.
Isabella blow founded Mcqueen and made him into the renowned designer he is today, the show went on to tell us about their life and friendship together.
After watching it i have the most respect for Alexander, he was by far the greatest artist and designer of the world today, a true artist. His extravagant runway shows blew my mind, performance art to its best to say the least. Watching this has inspired me greatly to do the best I can do in whatever I choose, be it fashion or textiles.
All the great artists I think tell stories of their life, the struggles and happiness they go through as a designer, I personally think it’s a great loss to have lost this amazing designer and find it very sad that I wont ever see one of his great elaborate shows.
R.I.P Alexander Mcqueen.
