Rest in Peace Alexander McQueen 1969 -2010


I hate this moment. I'm not a very good writer, i just express the exact words on my mind but this is one of the very moments I wish i had the talent to type down amazing fruitful phrases for a true genius. Genius that is Alexander McQueen.

I was waiting for my boyfriend to get ready for his work so that I can go to bed after a long day of processing my requirements for my new job. However, my heavy sleepy eyes widened with shock and disbelief. I was reading an entry from Chuvaness and I thought maybe it's an April Fool's Day joke but its not April yet. World renowned British fashion designer & fashion icon Alexander McQueen died. News online said he committed suicide. He was just 40.

I refuse to believe the news so I try to google more information on this but as i keep on clicking my heart continuously breaks into pieces. He is really gone.
Again what others say is true, you only see some of the greatest things a person had done when he's already gone. I wasn't really much of a fan of his outrageous creations because I'm more, let's say simple, uncomplicated and quite plain in terms of style but his works amaze me. Perhaps, the only time that i really opened my eyes to Alexander McQueen was when Lady Gaga strutted his "lobster-claw shoes" in her video Bad Romance. I truly regret not having to express much admiration to his extraordinary talent while he was still with us. Nevertheless, his creations will live with us for eternity.

Thank you Alexander McQueen for giving us something to "whoa" about, for giving us such jaw-dropping ensemble ever to hit the runway and thank you for always keeping us wondering and making us look forward to your ever show and ALWAYS deliver above expectations.

Fashion in my generation is not the same without you. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.
