McQueen and I

TV Programme of the Week

I watched the 'McQueen and I' documentary last night about Alexander McQueen and Isabella Blow, it was very good.  I felt awful for Isabella Blow, and couldn't get my head around the fact that she tried to commit suicide 6 times in 2 years before finally succeeding in May 2007. 

The footage that the documentary showed of McQueen's early shows was quite disturbing, there was no mistaking that the clothes were out of this world but the way they were presented was un-nerving.  The 1996 show with the model in shackles, I thought the way she walked was uncomfortable to watch; as was the woman in the box.
