Bring McQueen Home


Lee Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest fashion designers in British history, also the designer who helped London claim the title of Fashion Capital of The World once more, the designer who bought made tartan cool again and who arguably made low rise trousers umm fashionable.

Everything about him was British, from his designs to his inspiration to his first job as a tailor (he had an apprenticeship on Savile Row) and yet, his lifes work was still honoured over 3000 miles away in New York, where many of dedicated to all that is McQueen never even had a hope of seeing it.

Well now is your chance to rectify this.  Last week Grazia editor at large Melanie Rickey started a petition on Twitter that was so popular that it now has its own official petition going on the magazines website.  All work from the exhibition will be being returned to the McQueen offices sometime next week.  It has been said that the V&A are willing to host the exhibition and that McQueen HQ are now aware of the petition, all that remains is for us to signing.

It will take you literally two minutes, so get those fingers wagging guys!  Sign the petition here http://goo.gl/csnD9
