Flashback Friday - Alexander McQeeen & Kate Moss

A truly outrageously talented man.

McQueen killed himself at age 40. I do not understand.

Many people dismiss fashion but this man was no random celeb with a "line" of clothes.

He's work influenced many in the arts, especially music. He designed covers for Bjork, among others.

R.I.P. Mr. McQueen.

I'm definitely not someone who follows fashion by any stretch of the imagination. But I knew McQueen's work and admired it. I was so shocked to hear this. Prayers to his family and may he find the peace in death he couldn't find in life. So sad.

A great loss to the fashion Industry. early reports state he committed suicide. His mother was just buried about 2 weeks earlier. I wonder if that had something to do with it. I know he was close to his mother. My Cousin, Kelly, is just in shock. She majored in Fashion Merchandising and is very familiar with this fashion Icon...sad.

serendipity - yes...I love the music as as well.

gibber - I was shocked too!

simone - you're welcome.

groommama - also his mentor Isabella Blow committed suicide not long ago and he never really recovered from that. I read that he did leave several notes for friends and family.
