Alexander McQueen:1969-2010

I was utterly shocked and saddened this morning to hear of Alexander McQueen's passing. And a suicide too? To think, he's at the prime of his career, it's the start of New York Fashion Week where he's scheduled to release his second line, McQ, it's a few days away from London Fashion Week, which he's also a part of. And he's only 40! 40!

He's not exactly one of my favorite designers. But I do admire his eccentric sense of style. His clothes were always dramatically different, loud and somewhat outrageous. Boy, was he talented.

It's such a pity, really. I didn't know that his mother had also recently passed away till I was reading news about his death. Maybe it just got all too much for him :(

Whatever the reason, may you rest in peace, Alexander McQueen.
