This morning I woke up to find, one of my favorite designers Alexander McQueen, had committed suicide. He was found dead in his home early this morning. No statement from PPR, the parent company of Gucci Group and McQueen, has been released as of yet. I send my most sincere condolences to his family and friends during this time.
McQueen, for those of you that don't know has been a major player in the fashion industry for
quite some time now. He has been all over the
blogosphere and red carpets recently for his McQueenadillos. Since they were featured in his Spring 2010 fashion show, they have gained notoriety from Lady Gaga's Bad Romance video and seen on tons of celebs including singer, Kelis.
The McQueenadillos are just a recent example of McQueen's unconventional designs and rebellious approach to fashion. Celebs and fashionistas everywhere have proudly been wearing his designs for years! McQueen has
designed for Givenchy and done collaborations
with both Puma and Mac.
Many have been inspired by his work, he was truly a gift to the fashion industry for the time he was here. He will be greatly missed!
R.I.P.
Lee "Alexander" McQueen
