To end its mournful sadness the PPR is rising to re-vivify the McQueen label. According to the flash news of Daily Telegraph web-page the label's future is going to the hands of  fashion's Sunderland-born designer Gareth Pugh. 
It seems that the head of PPR  Francois-Henri Pinault want to see other British man as successor of British "Bad Boy".

The sameness of McQueen and Gareth Pugh is their theatricality. Style.com describes Pugh as the "latest addition to a long tradition of fashion-as-performance-art that stretches back through Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Vivienne Westwood to the eighties club culture of Leigh Bowery." Probably the boosters of Pugh such as  Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga and American Vogue editor Anna Wintour will ardently lobby for Pugh's new chair.
