He definitely doesn't need the publicity stunt of saying that Paris Hilton is banned. He'll get enough potential clients showing up. I'd like to add, however, that Paris Hilton and some others of that "kind" are banned from many runway shows. Let's just say they are on the "not be given seats to, no matter what" list. Whoever shows up at your party, store opening or catwalk show determines a lot in the fashion business. The press would focus on Paris being there and it would certainly take away a lot of credibility of McQueen's work. Look at the front rows at fashion shows such as Chanel (whether it is the RTW collection or the Haute Couture) : people are being selected in a very drastic and "tasteful" way. This is how the industry works and how one remains a "serious value". As for expensive clothes being superficial... I'm afraid that any form of art (visual or not) would be superficial too. The protective aspect of clothes has since long changed. It used to determine social classes and now it has become some display of wealth (virtual or real, the wealth). But real high fashion is art. Purely and simply. The big stores with the "it" items and the monogrammed wallets are just the "food" of the art part of the fashion business. Without selling such designer hits, no designer could put out a line of real avant-garde clothes. McQueen is just a bit provocative.

If he doesn't want his work associated with certain a HTM that's good enough for me. She worked hard to make her rep let her enjoy it. That goes for both of them! McQueen is a genius.

She brings negative attention wherever she goes and manages to make everything about her. Although I would have enjoyed it more if he said she was banned for life.

Since she's beneath contempt, it would have been better to not even acknowledge her in the first place.

I could see why he wouldn't want her to like his stuff. I was upset when I saw Paris wearing L.A.M.B once cause i love that brand and it made me upset she wore it.

I think the best option is to ignore her entirely, and don't make a big thing of banning her from the store.
