010615 – Katy England – At The V&A London

Working with McQueen on his third catwalk show, Katy England quickly moved into the role of Creative Director. Previously working as a stylist for various magazines, she and McQueen in her words instantly hit it off. Her Q&A conversation with Jefferson Hack gave an insight around how she and McQueen worked together to create specific outfit looks from catwalk shows to magazine covers with initially no funds and just a group of friends to help out. In one image she is famously sellotaping shoes onto models. Katy’s husband Bobby Gillespie, Primal Scream’s front man and her full family are sitting directly behind me.
