Godspeed, Alexander McQueen

We are saddened to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the truly great fashion designers of his generation. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this difficult time.

I remember being in London in '98 for fashion week, and being absolutely schooled by Alexander McQueen as I watched him send horns, feathers, and alligator-spined longcoats through a vignette-lit warehouse of dirt and burning automobiles. Completely blew my mind. I like that he was an anarchist. It showed even in his most refined work. Sadly, another cowboy gone.

Godspeed, Alexander McQueen.
