"If he were a character in a novel, his end would almost inevitably the same." To speak (with an overdose of wisdom-of-onwards) is Tom Ford, a friend and confidant of Alexander McQueen who, more than a year after the sad ending, still fails to set aside the regret for not having been able to translate the infinite as SOS sadness that constantly shone from the eyes of his "friend Lee" "I should have to notice, when I look at our pictures now I see many things clear." Ford's statements come on the quiet, but intense, as if to scan the rows of the last wishes of McQueen made known by the British tabloids in these last hours.
"I feel happy only when I am home with my three dogs," he said in his last interview with Grazia Daily. "Take care of my dogs, I'm sorry, I love you," he wrote in a booklet found on the day of the sad epilogue to his home in Mayfair. And even though the bulk of his estate will be up to Sarabande, the charity (so named in honor of the collection of the designer Spring Summer 2007), which funds a range of scholarships for students of fashion at St Martin's College of Art and Design London, where he had studied, now Minter, Juice and Callum, his dogs, can live peaceful sleep.
Because of the 16 million pounds of total luck of the designer, 50 thousand were put into a trust fund dedicated to the three dogs. But there are only three puppies that will benefit, because it has left 100 thousand pounds each, McQueen at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and the Blue Cross animal sick center of Burford.
The rest of the estate will be divided between his three sisters and two brothers for whom he has provided 250 thousand pounds. 50 thousand up to each grandchild, as well as Marlene and Cesar Garcia, the pair of servants who took care of him for many years. 100 thousand pounds instead of going to the Terrence Higgins Trust, respectively, and the London Buddhist Centre.
"Why do people ignore the bad things: do not know that you lose the beauty that penetrates beneath the rotten fruit?" He wrote on his Twitter account a few days before the sad ending. Holy words. Until August 7 MET in New York is hosting an exhibition Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, dedicated to the designer and his work.
