R.I.P. Blackwell


The queen of fashion bitching died yesterday aged 86 years old. Richard Blackwell, author of 'From Rags to Bitches', obscure fashion designer and famous for his satyrical critics of the fashion high and mighty, passed away yesterday, after becoming famous for his cheeky annual list of the worst-dressed fashion celebrities, attacking icons from Madonna to Princess Diana...

Two of his best quotes:

Christina Aguilera: "A dazzling singer who puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer."
Meryl Streep: "She looks like a gypsy abandoned by a caravan."

How will intelligent fashion sarcasm survive without him?
