Alexander McQueen (17 March 1969 – 11 February 2010)

At the age of 4

Tribute

It's already been a year now since he died and now it's come again for Fashion Week. And he doesn't fail to be remembered.
For McQueen, the live fashion show was both theatrical and transformative, a front row moved to tears was by no means a rare occurrence at a McQueen presentation. He was also among the first to introduce live streaming and Twitter into his brand's repertoire. Rather than shy away from a rapidly evolving world around him, McQueen seemed to embrace wholeheartedly the uncharted horizon that lay ahead.
With his collections, McQueen moved between a fascination with the macabre and an interest in Utopian ideals. He presented contemporary fashion with some of its most memorable and moving images to date. An artist in the truest sense of the term, McQueen's creations will be championed for decades to come, and his inimitable spirit will be missed beyond measure. R.I.P.
