Alexander McQueen, Remembered

Désolé les gars. Je sais que ce devait être publié il ya quatre jours, mais j'ai totalement oublié à ce sujet jusqu'à ce que vers midi le lundi et n'a tout simplement pas eu le temps de tout compiler. J'ai fini ma pelote les yeux, faire ce post. Je pense que je suis vraiment d'émotion sur McQueen parce qu'il était juste que cette personne incroyablement brillante, qui a donné la plus belle vie à ses dessins et il est si difficile à traiter qu'il est vraiment parti. Je voudrais pouvoir aller voir l'exposition. Elle dure jusqu'au 31 Juillet et je veux aller si mal! Peut-être vous aurez la chance incroyable d'aller voir vous-même..

Sorry guys. I know this was supposed to be posted four days ago but I totally forgot about it until about noon on Monday and simply didn't have time to compile everything. I ended up balling my eyes out, making this post. I think I get really emotional about McQueen because he was just this incredibly brilliant person, who gave the most beautiful life to his designs and it's so hard to process that he is really gone. I wish I could go see the exhibit. It lasts until July 31st and I want to go so bad! Maybe you will get the AMAZING opportunity to go see it yourself.

To start off, I want to show my favorite pieces from the past ten years that he has been designing, starting with his very first show. . .

The Legend, Himself. . . McQueen








Alexander McQueen was an inspiration to so many people. I know how hollow that must sound, especially from someone who has never met him, and now never will, but the fact of the matter is, if I could be affected by him and his designs half-way around the world, then those close to him must have been truly blessed. We miss you and hope that wherever you are you're doing what you do best, designing dreams.

Au Revoir!

“It is important to look at death because it is part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time." - Alexander McQueen.
