This is not only true about fashion, but the entertainment business as a whole:
Lee Alexander McQueen’s ex-partner George Forsyth wants New York City’s fashionistas to quit their cryin’: The designer’s former beau says the outpouring of condolences of N.Y.C.’s “paper-thin” celebs is rubbish.
“The truth is, the fashion world is the loneliest place on the face of the planet. It’s a shallow world full of party people and party ‘friends.’ Lee knew that,’ ” he tells the London Daily Mail.
“A lot of the people in the audience were raising their glasses and getting into it, but chances are most of them couldn’t pick out one of his designs from a lineup.”
And while some of the grief flooding the fashion community may be genuine, Forsyth obviously feels McQueen isn’t being mourned appropriately.
“It’s been fashion, fashion, fashion … but what about him as a person?” he asks. “That’s the real loss and the real waste.”
I am glad he at least spoke the truth–may Lee McQueen RIP.
