“Fashion is evolving. Fashion is as much a form of entertainment as is cinema or music” says Alexander McQueen who is being interviewed live at his Paris Fashion Week show.

Alexander McQueen is a London fashion designer, known for his bold and often non conventional style.

“Fashion is a form of storytelling, this is what we do here. This is what motivates me”

Here is what fashion commentators are saying on twitter:

Canada’s best know fashion commentator and host of Fashion Television, Jeanne Beker had this to say about the McQueen show :

“And so….seeing a show like that reminds me of why I love fashion. And now, I can go on for another 25 years! (At least…)”

Lisa Tant the editor-in-chief of Flare Magazine- one of Canada’s top fashion magazines said this:

“How do I feel after a show like this? Breathless & honoured to witness brilliance first hand. Will have trouble sleeping tonight”
