Its been a very sad day for the fashion world today. One of the stalwarts of the modern era sadly died earlier this afternoon, many believe through suicide. This man, one of the greatest fashion designers of all time, was ALEXANDER MCQUEEN.
Real name Lee McQueen, he didn't directly affect me. But he created some beautiful things, including possible my favourite catwalk item ever, the Wing dress. At over £4,000, it was a massive investment, but in midnight blue, it was beautiful. Shoes, jeans, jackets, dresses. You name it, he designed it. He's been around for years, and to pass away at just 40 makes the situation even worse.
This man probably had so much more to give to the fashion world, and would have developed more ideas into the biggest and the best at fashion shows. The man may be gone, but his legacy lives on through his company, and hopefully, they will do this man justice.
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, rest in peace. You are the Day Dedicatee for Thursday 11th February 2010.
