a truly remarkable guy

He kept at true good humour's mark
The social flow of pleasure's tide:
He never made a brow look dark,
Nor caused a tear, but when he died.
~Thomas Love Peacock


sniff......

i am sorry that i am not greeting you with my usual hey! but i felt that there was nothing cherful about as a great desinger has died : Alexander Mcqueen :


a quick bio:
he was born with the name of Lee Alexander McQueen on 17 March 1969 known for his unconventional designs andunique taste. McQueen worked as the head designer at Givenchy for five years before founding the Alexander McQueen and McQ labels. McQueen's dramatic designs, worn by celebrities including Rihanna ,Björk and Lady Gaga ,met with critical acclaim and earned him the British Designer of the Year award four times.McQueen was gay, and claimed he had realised his sexual orientation when he was six and told his family at 18.In the summer of 2000, McQueen unofficially married his partner George Forsyth, 24, a documentary filmmaker, on a yacht in Ibiza ( only lasted a few years).after the suicide of Isabella Blow Rumours were published that there was problems between McQueen and Blow at the time of her death , his response :

It's so much bollocks. These people just don't know what they're talking about. They don't know me. They don't know my relationship with Isabella. It's complete bullshit. People can talk; you can ask her sisters ... That part of the industry, they should stay away from my life, or mine and Isabella's life. What I had with Isabella was completely dissociated from fashion, beyond fashion

McQueen's death was announced yesterday. He was found dead that morning by his housekeeper at his home on Green Street, London W1. Paramedics were called; they pronounced him dead at the scene.McQueen died nine days after the death of his mother. British tabloid The Sun has reported that McQueen was found hanged, but this has not been confirmed.The police have stated that the death was not suspicious, but have not confirmed that the death was a suicide.
A post-mortem is scheduled to take place on 15 February, and a coroner's inquest later that week.
Some of McQueen's accomplishments included:

1-He was awarded the CBE and named International Designer of the Year at the Council of Fashion Designer Awards
2-In 2005 McQueen collaborated with MAC's promotion of cosmetic releases created by fashion designers

his last collection:



i was intending to blog about his last collection but it just dosent feel right at the moment as we have lost a real star in fashion i am sitting on my room with my laptop listening to lady gaga´s fashion and the one thing that keeps poping into my head is that he had such great eye for picking colors for his collections , i know its stupid but that is how i feel and that i will always remember this dress from a former collection:



anyway its kinda late and i feel too sad to even go out ( i am serious)
