Alexander McQueen is found dead at West End home a few days before London fashion... week.http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/feb/11/alexander-mcqueen-dies-fashion-...

what a loss for the fashion world...
he was one of my favorite designers..His wide imagination, his unique creativity, his spectacular shows, his style, his charm...

Alexandra Shulman, the editor of British Vogue, said McQueen had influenced a whole generation of designers. "His brilliant imagination knew no bounds as he conjured up collection after collection of extraordinary designs," she said.
"At one level he was a master of the fantastic, creating astounding fashion shows that mixed design, technology and performance and on another he was a modern-day genius whose gothic aesthetic was adopted by women the world over. His death is the hugest loss to anyone who knew him and for very many who didn't."
...it's too sad...

nenaviovicente, well.. all great artists are "heavy on our pockets".. can you afford buying piece of art of Picasso or DaVinci? Anything is great and unique is not so much affordable. It becomes affordable once it becomes mass-production.. but this is different story..

flor, he has already left a great 'kind of legacy'..

All great/outstanding people are a bit ubnormal .. if they were like you, or like any other plebeian, they wouldn't have been GREAT.

and hey, of course he and his new pieces of art will be missed!

• Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel designer: "I found his work very interesting and never banal. There was always some attraction to death, his designs were sometimes dehumanized. Who knows, perhaps after flirting with death too often, death attracts you."

Eventually all the designers are very heavy on our pockets. Yet one has to admit and honor their skills and creativity

i still can't believe it,fashion has truly lost one of the best ''modern designers'' ... now, you if u zap on fashion channels , u can only see hideous things designed by god knows who .... i remember when Versace was killed years ago,Franco Moschino who died of AIDS, and Trussardi who died in a car crash ... I am sure Alex will be missed. His clothes were incredibly perfect, and he was an extraordinary man.
