The World Still Needs ALEXANDER MCQUEEN!!

He had an astonishing level of creativity. He was always striving relentlessly for the next thing. He was a perfectionist at the pinnacle of his career. He was a great poet, a  magnificent designer and  a creative role model to thousands of fashion lovers.

It would be disingenuous  to speculate about what McQueen’s legacy will be or what impact his  death will have, but if there is one thing  we  can say for sure, it’s that ....the world still needs Alexander McQueen...!!!!!

 A one-time enfant terrible of the fashion world, McQueen’s designs had recently found a more widespread audience that garnered him a good bit of mainstream,  stars like Lady Gaga wore his most avant-garde creations, by all indications, it was Alexander McQueen’s moment.

  

He’s gone now, long before he was done, and the fashion industry is without one of its greatest iconoclasts and creative thinkers.

  To McQueen, that was never the point. Season after season, he reminded us all of what fashion could be on its very best day, when the cynicism was stripped away and creative people got the chance to do what they were born to do. He made clothing that made us dream and gave us nightmares, and there are few experiences in fashion as visceral as watching a collection of his creations see the light of day for the first time.

  

McQueen said cryptically, “When I’m dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship.” It is without question that his legacy and vision need to be continued;  wishing  that he was going to be the one to do it!!!!!!!!!!!
