I woke up this morning to find out about Alexander McQueen and i'm so unbelievably sad about what's happened. We can never truly understand another person's view of the world, especially one who is drawn to depression, but the growing number of people in this industry going before their time is extremely worrying, and deeply saddening.
I first heard about McQueen back in 1998 when he designed Kate Winslet's wedding dress, as well as her Oscar gown. (Winslet obsessed. I tell you!) He had such a strong aesthetic even then, and it has only continued to grow and develop into one of the most recogniseable on the runway. Such a mad genius! Such a brilliant designer! All I can say is that I hope he rests in peace. The fashion world will continue to admire his amazing designs for decades and decades to come.
