A tribute, the gaga icon of style: Alexander McQueen will live on.

It makes me so sad whenever I hear about a suicide. A life is precious, no matter whose it is.  Most recently the fashion icon and designer Alexander McQueen found hanging in his apartment in London, February 11th, 2010.
I was first acquainted with such a horrible (first hand) experience when I was sixteen. One of my summer camp friends, the sweetest funniest guy in the world, decided to take his own life. An experience I don't care to recollect and the largest funeral I have ever been to in my life, to date.  It is something that stays with you forever.  I can only imagine how all of Alexander's friends, family, and the many people whose lives he touched during his own short lived one.

It is difficult to see the positive in such a dreary situation as this, however I will at least make mention to the fact that the McQueen did leave a legend behind him and a huge fan base that will long remember and love him. As we all know Sarah Jessica Parker was a massive fan.

along with Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore and of course Lady Gaga.
  Sarah was often seen in his lovely fantastical creations as perhaps Lady Gaga was his personal muse and recently used his work in her latest video "Bad Romance".


He is as synonymous as Louboutin & Manolo Blanik was to Sex and the City.  I hope the latest movie this summer pays a tribute to his work.  He will be missed.
