NO! This can't be true!

This is the kind of headline you read that takes your breath away for a moment....truly tragic...it makes me so sad to think that there are so many wonderful, talented people out there with so much unhappiness inside.... RIP mcqueen..

 

[Valentine27]

What a sad news...Repose en paix.

 

[sojou]

How sad that he felt so without hope considering how much he had

 

[Lisa~~~*]

Rest In Peace.

 

[ohmydays]

the ****kkkkkkkkk fkjhujfgkriuifrhguhrihgfjfhghhfdkhfgh he was A GENIUS :'(

 

[AD2818]

This is such unbelievable news! He was one of the most genius designers, if not the greatest of all. Anyone with the slightest knowledge about fashion will be in mourning.

I guess it's true.. True artists are tormented souls.

 

[RomanXII]

OMG! I can't believe a great man like him is gone soo soon. NOt only was he a great designer, he seemed to be a great man as well. So sad. May God bless him and his family.

 

[INTER]

This is so SAD!!! I´m still shocked...

Alexander McQueen, RIP

The news that Alexander McQueen has killed himself is particularly devastating because it always felt to me like he’d be the last man standing. He was restless, but so pragmatic with it I assumed he had what it took to endure the extreme situations he placed himself in. He was also an arch romantic with a pessimistic streak. It produced some of the most beautiful, shocking images in the history of fashion, but it’s a state of mind that can lead to endless disappointments. The death of McQueen’s mother last week would have validated his pessimism. It would undoubtedly have taken away his most vital support. It’s awful to imagine him trying—and failing—to cope, and one can only hope that, if he was looking for peace, he found it. For everyone left behind, there will eventually be consolation, however scant right now, in a body of work whose power will never die.

This cant be true

 

[siobhanswords]

It's very difficult to say how i feel, i almost feel as though i shouldnt feel as sad as i do, after all i never met Lee and unless my wildest dreams were to come true i probably never would have. However the thought of never seeing another McQueen show again.... owch.

RIP.

My condolances to everyone wo loved him. Word cannot express the grief we all have. Forever Alexander!

 

[emma peel]

My last tweet a week ago was me expressing my condolences to him about his mother's death. And now this. It's just...really hard to grasp. I know I didn't know him in real life but he was a constant presence in my life with his genious work and his little personal quirks. His work IS what got me seriously into fashion and I will forever be grateful to him for that. It's an honour to have lived in his too short lifetime.

RIP Alexander McQueen

 

[Tinuviel]

Oh my.... I have no words. This can't be real... He truly was one of the best. What a complete tragedy. RIP Alexander.

My friend told me about this, I could've believe this at all.

I remember talking to Nancy (Fashion Illustrator that I TA for)...we've both agreed that McQueen would've most likely have been the dominating designer within the next few decades.


I'm still in disbelief!.....
