Today marks the one year anniversary of the death of a great designer. Alexander McQueen was found dead after an apparent suicide in his home. He was a visionary like no other, and his talents were lost too soon. His over-the-top designs and runway shows are greatly missed in the fashion world, but his work lives on in the hearts of designers he has influenced and inspired throughout his impressive career.
Always a showman, McQueen had an affinity for the out of the ordinary. His runways were proof of a master at work, showing avant garde at its finest. He revolutionised the runway, combining technology and theatrics. He had an obsession with the after life and his work had a certain darkness. He became well know for including skulls in his work. His last collection was completed after his death and seemed especially angelic; his presence was apparent.
These are some of my favorite pieces from his career. May his influence live on and his work continue to be respected for the artistry it holds.
