R.I.P. Alexander (Lee) Mcqueen

16 March 1969 – 11 February 2010

One week ago yesterday the world heard the news that Alexander (Lee) Mcqueen, true artist and fashion visionary, was found dead in his home. It is apparent that Mcqueen hung himself the day before his mother’s funeral. Clearly Lee, as he’s to known to those close to him, was having trouble grieving his mothers death. Word is he hadn’t left the house in a week and had cut marks on his wrists. I hope he has found some peace now, because the fashion world is sure in a frenzy. I was truly in shock when I heard the news and was overcome with emotions. Mostly because I too have a very close relationship with my mother and don’t even want to fathom or type the rest.
Make sure you check out Mcqueen’s last show.

Rest In Peace
