“When I’m dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship.”
- Alexander McQueen in the new LOVE Magazine
He was one of the best, and now he is a legend! It was a tragic message to hear of the death of McQueen. He was found at his home in London. Fashion designer Alexander McQueen has taken his own life at age 40.
He was a great designer, check out his TAG on my cloud.
McQueen was born in the East End of London on March 17, 1969. His father was a taxi driver and as a child he made dresses for his three sisters. As a teenager he apprenticed on Savile Row–where he made suits for Prince Charles and Mikhail Gorbachev –before attending Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. It was his graduation collection that caught the eye of influential stylist Isabella Blow. The two became fast and dear friends until Blow committed suicide on May 7, 2007. McQueen dedicated his spring 2008 collection to her.
McQueen was named England’s designer of the year four times between 1996 and 2003.
