Alexander McQueen is the king of the fashion industry. His ideas are innovative, creative, and ultimately, other-worldly. They amaze, inspire, and make the jaws drop of those who encounter his work.
That is, until he committed suicide in2010. McQueen was found dead in his flat in London just days after his mother’s death, and since then, the fashion industry has not been the same.
But the point of this post isn’t to depress and mourn the death of one of the kings of fashion, it is to celebrate his life.
So, in order to celebrate his life, I am going to post my top five of his creations and why they are, in lack of a better word, AWESOME.
And here we go!:
1). Look 26 from McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2010: I love the elegant silhouette and the crazy patterns. The colors remind me of a butterfly. Personally, I think this dress would be flattering on almost anyone, and is perfect for a day out or a night on the town.
… So that’s it. My top five of Alexander McQueen. While he deserves so much more recognition than this silly little blog, it’s a start. The man ended his life too early, and made us miss out on years of pure AWESOMENESS. So, Mr. McQueen, this is for you! Hope you enjoy it.
