You know, I feel a bit bad about Alexander McQueen

Not like I should, I didn't know the guy or anything, but I do. Ah well, the brightest sparks burn out the fastest, I guess.

He was a legend.

didnt know a lot about the guy and i dont know the full story but i think its a tragedy that man struck with grief felt he couldnt go on. I have struggled with grief myself and although i got very low i didnt think about ending it. grief's a funny thing, you get to experience how important living is if you see what i mean. Its just sad he didnt think he could make it thru or felt he could talk it thru with anyone.

Some of his designs were garbage.

It may not have been mere happenstance. I think he was pretty upset.

Yeah, seriously....that was just trashy.

Unless its for a Sci-Fi movie or you want to be crazy outrageous like Lady Gaga I don't see how any of the stuff he made (from the pictures I've recently seen of his work) was considered good.

When the Earth is finally dying and we have to evacuate for another planet and everyone is queueing to get aboard the escape shuttles, ordered by importance, then the fashion designers will be at the very back of the queue.

i only followed the beginning of his carreer

i was quite addicted to fashion tv at that time

He couldn't design clothes as good as they have in Matalan so maybe that's why?

I loved his work. Not necessarily for me to wear from day to day, or anyone to wear really. But unlike some designers I think he put actual ART in to fashion, especially his fashion shows. It was entertainment and something interesting to look at and I enjoyed it just as much as I enjoy viewing great art at a museum or gallery.

He's honestly the only designer I can say that about. Other "fashion" bores me.

It's too bad he's gone.
