And I loved the direction he had been moving in, the digitally re-made prints, here combined with ornate embroideries. He somehow managed to make many of his collections look high-court historical, yet extremely modern and avant-garde at the same time. I don’t think anyone else working in fashion can accomplish that nearly as well. That’s one reason his sensibility resonated so well with me, an historian of early Europe.
I’ve heard Gareth Pugh’s name mentioned as a successor. I think Pugh would be a good choice, though he certainly doesn’t approach McQueen’s level.
