Alexander McQueen had dressed her in a chic green dress for the London premiere of Sex and the City and was her date to the 2006 Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, the pair an explosion of plaid. For Sarah Jessica Parker, the red carpet won't be the same without him. "I am shocked and overcome with grief upon learning about the untimely death of the quiet genius Alexander McQueen," says the actress and newly appointed chief creative officer and president of Halston, of the designer's apparent suicide.

I am not a Roman Catholic so I do not attend church and have the mark of burned ashes placed on my forehead, but this year, as in years past, the ache in my heart for the Father of all things has been growing. I have recognized that I have been falling short in so many areas and I am concerned. I find myself wishing to be able to do something, perhaps to prove my faith and achieve salvation, but I know this is impossible. There is no work any of us can perform to make Him want us. I sometimes think how I have turned away from the direction of the gospels and done things my own way or watered down what I know is right because it was too hard. Then too, my natural rebelliousness is always in play. I find myself thinking, “Certainly I could make a better world than my Father in heaven!!” How He is able to abide my attitude is amazing in and of itself. I know that should He offer to strike down those who are evil with a single blow, I should be one of those hit hardest for I am deserving of judgment. I try and remember that when I become angry at others, but I do not remember that often enough. I know in my heart of hearts how poorly I have done.
I have read that when a priest puts the ashes on your forehead, he speaks about them being a memorial of the dust from which we came and the dust to which we will return. I am reminded that the etymology of Adam, the first man, is thought to be of red clay. A priest might say, also, "As we begin this holy season of Lent in preparation for Easter, we must remember the significance of the ashes we have received: We mourn and do penance for our sins."
It is not enough to wear the ashes and it is not enough to try to do better. It is only through true penance and prayer that we can make any difference in ourselves at all and even then, perhaps very little. I know people who give things up for Lent, a sacrifice, if you will, and I have no doubt that these are well intentioned. However they are not enough. We must, through prayer and supplication, ask for God's help against our natural character. We do not have to go live in a cave, but we have to center ourselves on what is right in His eyes, rather than the world's.

This year, we mourned the deaths of the beloved Farrah Fawcett, photographer Irving Penn, Gap's co-founder Donald Fisher, and the king of pop, Michael Jackson. Each made a huge impact in the world and we will always remember them for their stellar style and contribution to the industry. Also recognized were shuttered fashion houses Christian Lacroix and Luella Bartley — what a shame.
