What a shock, eh? I'll keep this short and sweet because I always feel that after a well-loved person dies there seems to be an awful lot of people preaching about their genius and how missed they'll be, and somehow the moment becomes about oneself and their own connection to the deceased, and the words of sentiment lose their value. It goes without saying that Lee McQueen leaves the world and the Fashion industry a little dull; it's crazy to imagine fashion week without him or the shows that are both spectacles and talking points. It'll be interesting to see how his legacy will continue from here. Thank you Alexander McQueen for your resounding impact on the British fashion industry and for your fusing of beautiful art with enormous fun. This weekend, myself and the girls at work will be scrawling your name across your knuckles and possibly donning tartan as a thank you for your part in our love and appreciation of modern British Fashion.
