Please Be Patient, Excuse My Digital Dust

Hey there loyal readers. As you may have noticed, there are many changes afoot here at Speak A&D. These changes are in accordance with the fresh new redesign of timspeaker.com. I want to beg your patience for the blog redesign that I am currently working on. This may cause things to be a bit chaotic here for a bit, but please bear with me.

If you haven't stopped by timspeaker.com in awhile, please do, as it is a totally new home for my work.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Alexander McQueen At The Met Is A Fitting Requiem

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Pt. I from RUNWAY PASSPORT on Vimeo.

Alexander McQueen, who referred to himself as "the Edgar Allen Poe of fashion" committed suicide last year at the age of 40. His work often drew upon Gothic inspiration and British history, two unique approaches that manifest in the work in a dramatic, sweeping arrangement.

Currently the Met in New York City is hosting an exhibition of his work. Even viewing the show in the film above, the presentation is stunning. It runs from May 4-August 11. More here.

Thanks Pete for the heads up.
