having just tried on an incredible Alexander McQueen masterpiece-of-a-dress yesterday, i feel it necessary to dedicate a post to Mr. Lee Alexander McQueen, who died today in his London home. This loss comes as a devastating shock, as McQueen was only forty years old. McQueen dropped out of school at age sixteen to work for two of England's most famous tailors... it only took a few years at design school for his entire line to be purchased by Isabella Blow (a style icon and famous name in modeling and all other things fashion)... from then on, his controversial and unique collections for Givenchy and then for his own line continuously made fashion history while being overtly fashion-forward....
The work of Alexander McQueen will forever be revered as inspiration to the design and fashion world.
beautifully said.
ReplyDeleteand what a weird coincidence that you tried on one of his dresses and i bought one, both the day before his untimely death. chills...
