When I first saw this image in 1997 I remember photocopying it a million times. I couldn’t believe or fully understand what was in front of me, but I knew that it was incredibly beautiful and to this day it is one of the most striking images I have ever seen. It kind of changed my life and introduced me to Alexander McQueen: one of the first designers that inspired me to follow my dreams and move to New York City. His untimely passing breaks my heart and I know that I nor the fashion world will be the same without his talent and genius.
