There were tearful scenes at the designer's company headquarters in UK, where staff were overcome with emotion. McQueen, a four time winner of the British Designer of the Year award, was very close to his mother and had taken her death last week very badly. He will be remembered as the 'enfant terrible' of the fashion world, a man with stunning talent and eccentric and extravagant creativity. He was deeply imaginative and inspiring to many young designers and artists around the world.
He was a friend to many famous stars, and he helped in creating the images of many famous music stars such are Bjork and Lady GaGa for whom Alexander designed many stunning and fabulous looks.
He will be deeply missed.
I am very sorry to hear this. I feel sorry for his family, losing two loved ones so close together.
ReplyDeleteYes, he was one of those deeply artistic geniuses who feel a bit lost in this world which doesn't understand them. Sometimes he was too much for me as well (you probably remember his famous fashion show when he sent his models down the catwalk with live rats jumping in little cages stuck to their shoulders) but I deeply respect his talent and the way he inspired so many people around the world and so many young talents from all branches of art.
ReplyDeleteGreat talent. Great genius. Great loss. Great peace.
