Alejandro! 1969-2010

I write this blog with a tremndous amount of sadness. This morning Alexander McQueen, a fashion mentor dear to my heart, was found dead in his apartment London. It was suicide by asphyxiation. How dark and poetic at the same time.

It is always sad when someone so talented and young leaves us way too early. In case of McQueen this is especially hard on me because people like him inspire my own creativity and drive me to do what I really love in life.

To many of you who do not know McQueen on a deep artistic level like I do, you will know him for this - LADY GaGa. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Lady Gaga would never be so Gaga without the help of Alexander. Her 10 inch alien-like shoes, her performance costumes and her award gowns and outfits - it was all his genius putting it together and her pulling it off outside of the runway.

I composed a quick collage of my favorite McQueen moments. I <3 you Alexander and you will be missed :(
