Tribute to British Talent

I'm sure you've all heard but fashion designer Alexander McQueen tragically passed away last Thursday, it was reported that he had committed suicide. Even so, he was one of my favourite British designers and I thought I would pay a homage to him.

Alexander McQueen was widely known for his somewhat unconventional designs. Having his dresses worn my the likes of Kim Kardashian, Katie Holmes and Cameron Diaz he has been nothing short of successful. He has won the "British Designer of the Year" award four times and was the youngest to ever receive such an award. While reasons for his suicide are still unknown McQueen's designs will be cherished for a long time to come.

McQueen named Lady Gaga as his unofficial muse and exclusively designed her odd lace dress she wore at the VMA's last year.

It is hard not to consider that his designs were quite weird, but it is still a tragic loss. My Prayers go out to his family at this time.
