...models with paint as they walked; in another, he had them in rings of fire; in another, they were blood-spattered. Wild makeup and hair are runway standards, but McQueen put his models in those lobster-claw shoes Lady Gaga favors, as well as antlers. He gave his shows ribald names and once sent down a completely naked model carrying a transparent box of moths - which was then shattered, releasing the panicking winged insects.

...doing something important, unprecedented and unbearably hard,” Sarah says in reference to raising a biracial child in a prejudiced community, with a superciliousness that makes for a typical target of Tassie’s witty internal monologue.
