One of our favorite queens — not a queen like Madonna, but you know what we mean — has passed on to that great atelier/runway in the sky.
Mr. Blackwell was 86. And that’s like 250 in fashion years. We will miss his vicious fashion discourse and worst-dressed commentary. He was usually spot-on. Mean, but spot-on.
He was iconic. And isn’t that what we all strive to be.
Of course it is.
