"Robert’s
images
are
just
as
much
a
window
into
a
world
of
fashion
journalism
that's
all
but
disappeared.
.
.
.
Fairer
was
one
of
the
genre's
pioneers,
one
of
the
first
to
slip
away
from
the
catwalk
ruckus
and
behind
the
curtain;
and
few
designers
provided
such
a
vein
of
activity
to
mine
backstage
as
[Alexander
McQueen].
.
.
.
As
much
as
he
was
the
master
of
the
big
visual
spectacle,
he
was
also
a
master
of
detail.
Robert’s
images
document
the
preparation
and
staggering
visual
shocks
that
Lee
created,
but
they
also
show
the
designer
putting
final
touches
to
looks
before
they
went
out
on
the
catwalk,
losing
himself
in
the
intricacy
of
his
creations."—Felix
