Holy shit. I've always deeply respected and loved his work. I'll miss him a lot, he's one of my favourite designers. Despite the diffusion line, despite his menswear which I could not always wrap my head around. His work on body distortion, his out-of-there aesthetics, both romantic and futuristic, always renewed yet always coherent as a whole, that, I hope, will leave a long term legacy in the world of fashion. I wish I could have seen one of his wonderful, masterful shows live at least once. I'm quite astonished, I can't think of anything else to say at the moment.

beautiful. While it is unfortunate I never clicked with his work on a level connected to my personal aesthetic, I think he had real vision as evidenced by the photo above.
On a more personal level, I think this incident strikes me because of a reason that may or may not be trivial - but an interview/article I read on him in US GQ back in the fall of 2004 was one of the things that moved me to pursue my interest into clothing on a deeper level. I still remember looking at the pic of him in a crisp white shirt, untucked, a tie, and a pair of cargo pants, sleeves rolled up and one hand holding a cigarette almost fully smoked, and thinking, "Damn, I want to be able to have that kind of aura some day..."Comment

Just read he committed suicide...at the age of 40. Very sad. I liked his earlier collections...and for the 2 off the rack suits that I own, I found that they were well made and fitted my body type perfectly.Originally posted by eat meComment

There's an article on the NYtimes...This is sad news.
What will happen with Alexander McQueen the label/brand as it's owned by Gucci Group. I believe he famously stated that he would not want it to continue without him at the helm.
This is awful.Comment

genius.

This is crazy.Comment

what will happen to the label is irrelevant right now,
that will surely sort itself out.
we are processing the unfortunate passing of one of the greatest designers to have ever lent his mind to fashion and clothing. one of the greatest fashion stories to have been told............. possibly the single greatest talent we have witness in our generation.
I feel for his family and loved ones to have to experience him passing in this kind if way...........for them to have experienced his success, coming from such humble beginnings, and for him to go out like this is really sad.................“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
