I particularly like the news of the world's classy reportage, more of which can be seen here:

Yesterday was designer Rachel Freire's London Fashion week presentation at the amazing Freemasons Hall in Covent Garden, i worked with Rachel to make a few latex items for her collection, including the best catsuit i ever saw; semi translucent black & old gold with beautiful feature seam details.
Here's a taster of the show with some backstage photos, more to come soon!
I'm just showing you the latex outfits i made for the show, but there is a full gallery of photos from Peeeping Tallulah here
When I heard about his death yesterday I felt like it was quite a poignant moment, in the workshop with Rachel, and interns, working manically towards Rachel’s London Fashion Week show, just over a week away. Although I don’t know anything about Alexander McQueens suicide, I can relate to the rollercoaster of mad emotions, including feeling of stress, utter desperation and pressure involved in the creative process.
I feel incredibly sad and very sorry to hear of the death of a designer who’s vision and style I have always adored.
I have a very intricate pattern for a McQueen kimono jacket given to me when I was at University that I never quite got my head around making, It has numerous, tucks, pleats, folds and sewing lines! I will find the time to make it now. I think I’ll make it in latex…
He was a creative genius, although my opinion is that he's not the only one out there, just the one who got that big break and the funding to create his wildest fantasies. I hope in the search for 'the next McQueen' that someone else will be given that chance.
I loved the theatricality of all McQueens shows, but I had to include my favourite two.
