Yesterday was a sad sad day for all fashion adepts and lovers fine arts…
Alexander McQueen, fashion designer, died at age 40. He is believed to have taken his own life.
McQueen, whose first name is Lee, was in the prime of his career and was -in my and many fashion editors’ opinion- still delivering some of the best collections in the world.

They called him the ‘enfant terrible’ of fashion… A tag I hope he wore with pride.
Because it’s visionaries like him who keep this sometimes silly and endless game called fashion alive and interesting.

Dear Sir, may you have found peace wherever you are. You will truly be missed.
