In Remembrance of British Fashion Icon Alexander McQueen

A fashion icon, an inspiring designer, a man of many talents only simply states Lee Alexander McQueen. On February 11th Alexander McQueen took his life and was found in his flat in London which was only a few days after his mothers passing. Although, profusely tragic.....A man such as McQueen should be remembered and honored and whose life should be celebrated. 

McQueen's supporters had to say: 

"He was the most brilliant designer of his generation and his influence can be seen in the way that women dressed over the last 15 years. It is an incredible loss not only for British fashion but for fashion the world over." British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman. 

"He was a talent beyond others" CEO at Alexander McQueen, Sue Whitely.

A true original, who once incorporated human hair into his designs, and last September sent 12-inch platforms down the catwalk, McQueen combined masterful tailoring and a haute couture sensibility with an imagination that spanned from obscure to sublime.

McQueen's talents had no limits from fragrance to off the rack to couture to puma sneakers to the most artful and eclectic fashion shows all over the world.

I remember I did my freshmen "Fashion Designer" profile on Alexander McQueen at Berkeley College in 2002, a true inspiration to me in his edgy women's fashion apparel. His work, to me is breathtaking, the way he subjected his talents in fashion shows always had me in aww I would watch his VHS (yes, I said it not dvd but VHS) of his paris fashion show over and over again. He had truly made an impact on my fashion career right from the very beginning. 

All hail Alexander McQueen. A true Fashion Icon.
