today i awoke to a vibrating phone. i had set my alarm early to meet a friend. but there were also endless texts. several about alexander mcqueen and several about a job that i needed to start right away. i was excited to learn that i am dressing the cast of the t.v. show glee for the new promos while at the same time coming to terms with the suicide of such an amazing and talented designer. the whole day was a blur of shopping and sizes and running back and forth. i came home to find these pictures sent by a friend who works down the street from the alexander mcqueen store here in los angeles. it is sad that so many of us in this industry struggle with being sad & lonely and yet have to put up a front and feel that we cannot reach out. it is such a loss to our industry for someone so talented and so young to be gone this soon. forever in our hearts indeed. i hope wherever he is he sees and feels that tonight.
