Mr Blackwell Hospitalised
August 6, 2008
Fashion critic Mr. Blackwell has been hospitalized with an unnamed serious illness.
Blackwell, 85, has been unconscious in hospital and since Tuesday, his partner, Robert Spencer, said from his home in Los Angeles.
Mr. Blackwell, whose first name is Richard, has issued an annual worst-dressed list for the past 48 years, famous for its tongue-in-cheek cruelty.
Last year he named Victoria Beckham the worst dressed celebrity of 2007, hissing “Forget the fashion spice – wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em.”
Mediaphilia wishes Mr. Blackwell a speedy recovery.
Seriously ill: Mr. Blackwell
