Final Farewell to Alexander McQueen

17 March 1969 – 11 February 2010


As the pandemonium that is London Fashion Week unfolds in it's usual chaotic style, the inside motley crew were at St. Pauls Cathedral today making their peace with the death of their close friend and uber talented designer, Alexander McQueen.  As we all know, McQueen took his own life in a tragic twist following the death of his mother, in February this year.  The fashion scene has been in mourning ever since.


As we (us lesser motely peeps) were not invited to today's ceremony, I thought I would allow those of us who wish to - to also pay our respects to the legendary fashionista.  I have included the song below; a version of Gloomy Sunday (the song about contemplating suicide, originally by Billie Holiday) which was performed by Björk at today's ceremony.


For full effect put on your favourite pair of heels, light a candle and remember McQueen at his best...


                         


Farewell Alexander McQueen... you will be missed....
