Our Runway Event for Alexander McQueen

The spring collection of Alexander McQueen was a tribute to the late Isabella Blow, the woman who discovered him, famously propelled his career from an amateur, student rack to a couture house, and loyally wore his clothes. Second, though: All terrible emotions apart, McQueen, like every other designer, can only be judged in the magnanimous light of the general arena of fashion. To put it bluntly, this collection—after an off season last time—was going to stand or fall based on whether his clothes were any good. Well, they stood!
