Well what a dark day the first day of New York fashion week turned out to be, with the shocking news that one of fashion’s most phenomenal, the outstanding Lee McQueen, committed suicide yesterday. A week after the death of McQueen’s mother, and two weeks before the unveiling of his Winter 2010 collection, the time of Lee’s passing highlights the huge loss felt by both his close family and friends and the fashion world at large.
And so we wheel out the old cliche ‘the show must go on’ and start to digest the newest offerings from New York. Day one and the BCBG Max Azria show really gets you thinking – how do all those layers fit together? Where is that hint of tulle coming from? Just how is that draping achieved? – in a collection full of assyemtry, jersey, long black sleeves and ivory tights. A truly cerebral start to the week.
