On February 12, the fashion world lost one of their greatest creators.
McQueen was a creator and used his imagination to create fantasy, rebellion, and edge to fashion.
His unconventional shock tactics earned him the "British Designer of the Year" 4 times during his career. Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Bjork and Sarah Jessica Parker were amongst his clients.
Alexander McQueen used makeup to make a statement beyond fashion.
Models were sprayed with paint and encased with butterflies at his last fashion show.
Pop star Lady Gaga wore 12cm high shoes resembling a lobster claw for one of her videos.
The gothic inspired make-up creations didn't always follow the latest trends.

Excellent post and tribute to the insanely talented Alexander McQueen, what a shame to lose an amazing and brilliant talent in such a tragic way and certainly well before his time!
Thank you for your visit and say hello to Paris for me...will you? I have loved all things French since I was a little girl and although I was born in America to American parents, I'm sure there was some sort of mix up and I'm really French! lol
Hugs,
Karyn
Bonjour,
What a lovely tribute to Mr McQueen, it is such a loss to the fashion world.
I also wanted to thank you for following my blog. I don't seem to be getting you new posts, but then I've been having some trouble with Blogger...maybe it's just me.
Would you mind if I sent you an email? I have a little travel business and do personalized itineraries in Paris and have a few questions, only if you have time.
Merci and bonne journée
