With his bold shapes, cinematic flair, and eclectic color palette, Lee Alexander McQueen quickly emerged as one of the top names in fashion.
In his young career, he was heralded by dignitaries and celebrities, from Prince Charles to Lady Gaga. This ability to transcend cultures, coupled with his passion for pushing boundaries and consistent artistic excellence, earmarks his position as one of the most important designers of our time.
The work of Alexander McQueen will forever be a testament to the beauty of creative freedom, and a shining example of the wonders of human imagination. May he rest in peace.

This is so very saddening! I have always admired his work for the eccentric runway shows and pieces that set him so far apart from most designers, and now a sad week for fashion.

My heart is sad today, I really can’t belive it. I loved-loved-loved his last collection, he was increadibly talented and his work not only good but a lot of fun too, not that common. One of his patterns is available at showstudio, here: http://www.showstudio.com/project/designdownload/alexander.mcqueen Rest in peace, Alexander McQueen!

We never know when someone we hold dear needs to hear just how much they mean to us.
