Listening to… Francisco Tarrega
Two of my favorite quotes from McQueen’s show at the MET: “You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I’m here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.” —Alexander McQueen “I want to be honest about the world that we live in, and sometimes my political persuasions come through in my work. Fashion can be really racist, looking at the clothes of other cultures as costumes… . That’s mundane and it’s old hat. Let’s break down some barriers.” —Alexander McQueen
Visited the 54th Venice Biennale and it was absolutely amazing. Magical city indeed (minus the tourists).
Here’s a great video piece by Monocle culture editor Robert Bound on the event.

Hope you enjoy my photos from the trip.
Going to the BAM Theatre Tonight. Really excited for Geoffrey Rush’s (was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The King’s Speech) The Diary of a Madman. Flyer from BAM.
