Hi Demi, I was just wondering what is your opinion was on Raf Simon's appointment as creative director of Dior. Do you think he is a good fit and do you think it is a good creative direction given the current volatility of the industry as a whole?
A
I’m just glad they finally made a decision. If we can’t have Galliano and his theatrics back then why not? I think Raf has the ability to make Dior more commercially viable but hopefully his collections for the house will inspire too. Next season will be very interesting..

Hello there! This is a bit out of the blue i know but i'm looking for some help re a dissertation i'm writing on McQueen. I'm focusing on three of his shows, 'The Birds' 'Voss' and 'Horn of Plenty', but what i'm unsure about is whether he created all the pieces for 'Voss' before or after leaving Givenchy? They seemed to have happened all at the same time and i can't find anywhere that lays it out chronologically clearly. Sorry for such a long question, thanks for any help! x
A
Voss was shown in September 2000 and McQueen’s final collection for Givenchy (Fall 2001) was 2 low-key presentations in March 2001. Hope that helps!

I was just wondering, did you like Savage Beauty, the book?
A
I flicked through it briefly at the book store, but I haven’t looked at it properly
I think I never bought it because I’m still bitter I missed the NY exhibition by a couple of weeks.. but I am also put off by the fact that all the images are of his clothing on “mannequins”. I’m not really sure I like that idea because I think it further promotes the false idea that McQueen’s clothes were ‘unwearable’. You know what I mean?? I was just sort of disappointed in it

You mean McQ yeah?
I am very.. indifferent isn’t the right word I don’t think.. but I’m not particularly interested in Alexander McQueen at the moment nor do I think I will be in the foreseeable future. It’s obvious with the direction everything is going that Gucci group is trying to get as much money out of the house as possible and not realising or, rather, disregarding the fact that they’re missing what the house was all about. I firmly believe that McQueen should have been left alone, stopped completely. I don’t think Sarah Burton is a bad designer but she isn’t right for McQueen because nobody is. It’s like ever since his death those in charge have seen how ‘popular’ he is with people who have a pseudo-interest and knowledge in fashion and are exploiting that by commercializing it, and I don’t mean making it commercial in the sense that it is opposite to high fashion but by making it less inventive and fashion-forward and more trying to portray what people who don’t know anything about the label perceive to be Alexander McQueen. But anything for $$. I don’t know if any of this makes sense? I haven’t really answered your question SORRY

Thanks for that show about Haute Couture it was really interesting. I'm just curious about Alexander McQueen. The majority of the clothes in McQueen seem like Haute Couture quality, and I know Daphne Guiness is a huge fan of McQueen, but he wasn't mentioned in that doco. Did he only do RTW? Sorry I'm not very clued on about these things
A
Alexander himself did collections for Givenchy haute couture but his own label was ready-to-wear only. To be called haute couture your house has to meet certain specifications and be accepted into the syndical chamber for haute couture. McQueen’s collections were amazing quality and had unique concepts, yes, but it’s still very much pret-a-porter.

I’m gonna have to go with the cliché response of Steven Meisel & Vogue Italia, even though they’ve both had better days.

whats your opinion on shorter models, like sasha?
A
usually i would say the taller the better but sasha is the exception. she’s my favourite model and her height and presence on the runway is actually endearing

What are your favourite fashion editorial magazines in order of preference? Do you like any other magazines that are not entirely fashion related?
A
i don’t really have a top favourite at the moment, maybe vogue italia but not based on what it has published lately. same goes for vogue paris and i-D. i do really like numéro so maybe that’s my favourite. then the magazines that i like sometimes are anOther, W, Lula, LOVE, oyster, russh and other editions of vogue like vogue nippon, vogue US, vogue UK etc. i’m probably missing some..
sometimes i will pick up magazines that are art/fashion/music related but there aren’t any that i buy every month or anything. i guess i-D and dazed & confused count though, which i sometimes get.
