I think McQueen would have appreciated this little girl's fabulous sense of style, and so I place her here, beside one of the many quotes that floats throughout this magnificent, cloth-bound catalog.
Birds in flight fascinate me. I admire eagles and falcons. I'm inspired by a feather but also its color, its graphics, its weightlessness and its engineering. It's so elaborate. In fact I try and transpose the beauty of a bird to women.
— Alexander McQueen

She is totally fabulous. I'm almost positive you've seen this since I know you are a Bill Cunningham fan but I lurve it: http://video.nytimes.com/video/2011/05/13/fashion/100000000818642/on-the-street--mcqueened.html
I'm going on a tangent here. It's not a memoir but a wonderful biography of the same name: Have you read SAVAGE BEAUTY, the life of Edna St. Vincent Millay?
It's AMAZING.
Did you see the show? It was a hallucination - really lovely. I bought the catalog AND a poster, which I never do, because it reminded me of my fantasy book in the making!
Perfect match-the quote and photograph. Perfect.
I often hold my breath as I wait to see if the letters and numbers I've typed in are correct. What if I'm a robot?
