McQueen and not Forgotten

Alexander Mcqueen.

You were a treasure in the fashion industry and how the world will wonder what was the A/W 10 collection to be shown in Paris and only days before London Fashion Week. We may never know. I hope you are now in peace with your mother. British Fashion, correction the Global Fashion Industry, has lost one of their bright designers showcasing the true wonders of graduate young talent to look outside the box.

You created the 'bumster' jeans where the jeans were so low cut he had evidently named his 1996 collection the "Highland Rape". You were risky and theatrical in your design. Heck, you got Lady GaGa wearing your Armadillo Shoes! Still baffled how on earth you can walk in them, let alone run for my 55 Bus to Oxford Circus.

My personal favourite was his Spring Summer Collection in 2007, the eerie Tudor music and the classic but feminine clothes juts hits the mood perfectly.





RIP Alexander McQueen.
