The One Year Anniversary of Alexander McQeen


Today is a day of remembrance of the one year death anniversary of the King of Fashion, (Lee) Alexander McQueen.
It was one year ago when McQueen chose to end his life just days before London Fashion Week and weeks after his mothers death in London and 3 years after the infamous 'Hat Lady', Isabella Blows death, who helped launch his career.

At just the age of 40 he decided to take sedatives and cocaine before dying of asphyxiation and hanging himself.

I was a huge fan of Alexander McQueen known for his dramatic shows and impeccable and incredibly creative collections always taking us on a journey to the future.
Known for his emotional power, raw energy, romantic collections and elaborate fashion shows.

In 1996 he was appointed Chief Designer for the french Haute Couture House of Givenchy until March of 2001. In December 2000, 51% of his work was acquired by Gucci where he became creative director.

Accomplishments:

-British Designer of the Year 1996,1997, 2001 and 2003
-International Designer of the Year by the Counsel of Fashion Designers in 2003
-GQ Designer of the Year in 2007

...may he rest in peace in his heaven...
