Art and commerce






Is it just me or is there really a Keith Haring trend bubbling under? These menswear outfits from the McQ by Alexander McQueen SS08 collection remind me of my interview at St Martins for the art foundation course many years (or even decades) ago. Asked who my favourite artist was I stumbled “Um, Keith Haring… for his use of colour” before tailing off unconvincingly. I didn’t get in.
