Hasta La Ideas

The fashion world was shocked and saddened when the news broke last February of legendary designer, Alexander McQueen€˜s death. The announcement put a pall on fashionistas and artists everywhere to hear of such a loss just days before London Fashion Week. McQueen, whose career was marked with rebellion and innovation, was much beloved by those in-the-know in fashion. British Vogue editor, Alexandra Shulman, said: €œHe was the most brilliant designer of his generation and his influence can be seen in the way that women dressed over the last 15 years.€� In his too-short life, Alexander McQueen, or €œLee€� as he was known to friends, was awarded the British Designer of the Year Award four times and was embraced by scores of celebrities and fans including the late iconic Isabella Blow, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Jessica Parker, Anna Wintour, Daphne Guinness, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

In a fitting tribute, The British Fashion Council organized a memorial service at St. Paul€™s Cathedral on Monday morning, September 20, for his friends. May he rest in peace.
