When Kate's drug scandal hit the headlines the following year, losing her lucrative contracts with many labels, it was McQueen who put her back on the catwalk. Not in person, but as a filmed hologram. Kate's ghostly apparition materialised in a glass pyramid, floating and swirling in slow motion in an extravagantly ruffled gown. The assembled fashion editors were transfixed. McQueen took his bow at the end of the show in a T shirt emblazoned with the slogan We Love You, Kate!
"It’s been fashion, fashion, fashion...but what about him as a person? That’s the real loss and the real waste. It’s not that he made women look great, it’s that he was a beautiful bloke, a really beautiful person with a big heart. 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."
