Alexander McQueen - A Life In Fashion

11 February 2010

12 Comments

The fashion world is in mourning following the death of Alexander McQueen who was found dead in his London flat on February 11, following the death of his mother, Joyce, just a week beforehand. The visionary designer won the BFC Designer of the Year Award four times during his stellar career, continually pushing the bounds of imagination and creativity.

Often referred to as British Fashion's "enfant terrible", his first collection was bought in its entirety by the late Isabella Blow, who championed him from his debut show and became his best friend. Known to his friends as Lee, McQueen will be mourned by many.

  • He was a real visionary genius ! Each of his shows was an oeuvre of art and touched me deep inside. I hope his work like Plato's Atlantis will be remembered an honoured as he deserves it. A great loss - but I feel very thankful for all the inspiration you gave me. Thank you, McQueen !
