McQueen's Last Interview!

Filed Under: Alexander McQueen

Just 6 days before taking his own life, Alexander McQueen sat down with Matches magazine for what would be his last interview.

Here are some highlights:

If he had an hour of free time in London:

"I'd head to the Natural History Museum!"

On when he is happiest:

"When I'm just at home with my dogs."

On showing in Paris instead of London:

"I love the heritage of the design houses and the fact that not just anyone can put on a show."

On growing up in fashion:

"There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company. [But] I always remember that it's the fantasy, the artistic side, that makes customers want to buy the straightforward black pants."

The full interview will be out in Matches Spring/Summer issue.
