A tribute service for Alexander McQueen was held on Monday at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Elle UK writes that over 2,000 guests were invited.
The hour-long service included a reading from Anna Wintour who was the first to speak, recalling a photo shoot McQueen had agreed to do in the earl 90s only to call at last minute to say “He didn’t give a flying ‘whatever’ about American Vogue.”
She stated, “Alexander would infuriate me every year before the Costume Institute Gala,” she admitted. “He would accept every year, only to bail at the last minute. But when he finally came, he flew up the stairs with Sarah Jessica Parker, both visions in tartan and plaid, and all was forgiven.” She paused. “We always forgave Alexander.”
