Mourning McQueen

If we're to call ourselves stylish in any way, we have to announce our deep regret for the loss of Alexander McQueen on this day of February 11, 2010. For over fifteen years, the magnetic designs of McQueen have shocked and inspired the fashion world. His spring 2010 line was an exposé of the kaleidoscopic extraterrestrial, and beyond his collections, McQueen was truly a man of the moment designing wardrobes for musicians like Lady Gaga and Björk. Presumably, we will still expect to see McQueen's designs undoubtedly enchant and arouse us for the final time in his fall 2010 collection, to be revealed in Paris on March 9. The loss of McQueen's energetic gift will create a penetrating void.
