Alexander McQueen / Nick Knight - The White Interview: Unseen McQueen:

showstudio.com/...
In 1998, shortly after showing his A/W 98 Joan collection, a young Lee McQueen sat down with Nick Knight's then first assistant, Sølve Sundsbø, to discuss the pair's collaborative relationship and their first project together, a series of images for the Florence Biennale in 1996. Footage from the interview was never released and remained in Knight's archive until now.

I miss him so much. Fashion feels quite flat without him. We only see this type of artist every hundred years. It's true. We were blessed with his artistry. He took relentless, fearless artistry and combined it with being a master tailor. The result is silencing to those looking upon his creations.

[@user-pv2kr4kl4e]

Trinmatrix So true... The world never really recognizes true genius.Besides fashion he was a philosopher. If you ever get a chance read the poem " The Genius Child " by Langston Hughes.RIP ALEXANDER!

[@jackaube4327]

@CARE LESS yes really

[@mtterzoli]

Beautifully put.

[@swnat88]

he was a creative genius and had so much skill to actually realize his visions I'm so in awe of everything he's done but i feel like no one really gave him enough praise for his work

[@epbsmoses]

How did he Produce some of the most stunning and incredible clothing of these last two centuries

[@dillbyers6127]

It’s so lovely to see him smile. I wish I had known him and while I loathe that the whole world has this tendency to feel interpersonally connected to artists, I can’t help but feel understood by his art. Thank you McQueen for inspiring me to pursue a career in fashion. You are an angel

[@jimcampbell1649]

it has been 10 years now since we lost him one of the greatest men in fashion history a man who became famous and lived a life like no other person did

[@klarathompson9987]

He recreated his state of mind onto a garment for people who appreciate and understand his message … all his feelings and thoughts are resurrected in his collections .. sadly not many people get it .. x

It's so strange to think that this average-looking Londoner was one of the greatest artists ever.

[@karinadiana901]

Why? Coz he didn't look like a freak or something? That only proves how judgemental people are...

[@Joey-bx8uz]

@@karinadiana901 not necessarily about whether he looks like a freak or not. He did look and dress normal, perhaps unlike some designers.

[@africanhistory]

@@Joey-bx8uz Thanks you got to put the PC police in check. CLEARLY,he does not look like a rock musician or a fashion designer so the point by Sophie B is correct.

I think he literally was the only designer I've ever seen to be pure in his work and actually creating art. The rest of fashion seems completely superficial and driven by money. They couldn't ever come close to what he was doing.

You could tell he had lost his way bless... drugs will do that... RIP xxxxxxx

[@morningowl43]

This was after his Joan collection in 1998, he wasn’t on the amount that he was later in his life before his death. But it wasn’t just drugs, drugs amplified it, it was mental illness, severe anxiety, stress beyond belief, people hanging around him leading him astray with how to cope with his emotions, the industry telling him that he couldn’t make the art he truly wanted to make, he was a tormented genius and actually wanted plato’s Atlantis not just to be his final show but he told his assistant that he wanted to actually k*ll himself on stage as an act of true artistic defiance. He was a troubled beautiful soul and I miss him dearly

[@glitchessence]

[@AN-fg4cd]

He had a lot of water energy in his birthchart. Pisces sun and moon, with a Scorpio rising. It makes him very creative....but very dark. Water as your moon sign for men is a tough placement. The moon deals with emotions and water is already an emotional element. There is no telling what it was like to be in his mind🤯. A lot of single or double water placement men commit suicide. For example Robin Williams(Cancer sun, Pisces moon), Kurt Cobain (Pisces sun, Cancer moon), Heath Ledger (Cancer moon), Anthony Bourdain (Cancer sun)....🤔.

[@LittleKittyCat]

Very similar to myself. I'm a Pisces Sun with a Scorpio moon and Pisces Rising. He is my favorite designer and a designer I can relate to in the sense of fashion.

[@benadrylcumberbatch2980]

If I was born in March 13 1995 what would I be 😯

[@starryeyedtarot8876]

I literally was thinking about this this morning. I’m a professional astrologer/medium/tarot reader and male water signs have SUCH difficulty. I was thinking of Kurt, Heath. I have a theory that female water signs tend to be emotional gangstas, bc we have the feminine to get in touch with our dark emotions. With male water signs, they often simply drown. RIP, you beautiful man. 😚

[@mtterzoli]

A once in a generation artist and creative genius who was completely exploited by the fashion world. 14 collections per year… this is obscene and frankly a disgusting level of pressure to be under. And this is creative work of the absolute highest level that he is having to produce. It’s not as though he was making a bookshelf. So fucking sad he didn’t slow things down and try and prioritise his health and himself. I don’t think many people in his position could handle it.

[@nataliapiedrahita5137]

the clothes that a designer wears has nothing to do with the designs that they make. Fashion is a lot more than the clothes that somebody puts on everyday and it's sad to see that you don't know that, because that's exactly what makes people believe that the fashion world is only superficial.

[@LazarkGaming]

@@nataliapiedrahita5137 Sad that I, the average male idiot with literally no care for anything fashion related? I was only making a point, that from what I've seen, people who work in the fashion industry generally put effort in when out of their own home.
