It saddens me to report that one of the most iconic fashion designers of our time, Alexander McQueen,40, was found dead in his London home early Thursday morning.  Less than a month before the debut of his ready-to-wear collection at Paris Fashion Shows in March and close to a week before London Fashion Week (although he woudnt be showing, he was accounted for in attendance).  Following his mother’s death on February 2nd, he now rests peacefully by her side.  This is truly a tragic time for those inspired by fashion, style, individuality, and out-of-the-box ideality.  Whether you can recognize his work or not, McQueen’s name has been heard and spoken amongst the biggest celebrities at all the top events.  Having won numerous awards and been recognized as a “visionary” in the fashion world, Alexander (born Lee) McQueen leaves behind his legacy and large designer shoes to be filled by all other designers.

Celebritiy fans:  Sarah Jessica Parker,  Sandra Bullock, Gwenyth Paltrow, Janet Jackson and Lady Gaga (to name a few)

“I’ve been doing these [fashion] shows for over 15 years now; I must have done about 60 shows. Even I get bored with the same concept, so this way, I can see a brighter future for fashion.” – Alexander McQueen

Rest in Peace, homie.
