Of course I didn't want to rush this, a mini tribute to a man that I never knew but who has had such an impact on my life. People often say it's silly to be distraught or upset over those who have passed that you never knew but I say inspiration is unmeasurable. When I heard he past, like many of you I was devastated. The initial report ruled out any foul play and later in the day we discovered that he had in fact killed himself.
As Alexander McQueen was second in my life from Marc Jacobs it's only right he got the proper goodbye for us. Alexander McQueen in a time plagued by poverty, bitchassness and all things negative brought a sense of playfulness to the fashion world. Fashion was ugly and weird but it was an art form to him. Every year amongst dozens of dozens, Alexander McQueen's collections was amongst top three to look forward to. As an inspiration to wanna bes, almost bes and all individuals in between he proved that even in a recession good artistry is recession proof. From Puma to Target, he made gold out of everything he ever touched. Even after his death, his presence and influence in the fashion world remains as strong as it was before he died. "Fashionistas" come and go by the artists who create those fashions live forever. Rest in peace to the late, great Alexander McQueen, you will absolutely be missed.
