Well, he's never really been about affordable, functional design, has he. I don't find diffusion lines objectionable as a matter of principle; it's the idea of McQueen diffusion line that makes me want to run and hide. McQueen's work, despite all its arty trappings, has always been slightly tacky, but has usually been rescued by its opulence. Take away the opulence, and what remains?
