RIP Alexander McQueen CBE : 1969 - 2010

[dior_couture1245]

I doubt the collection will go unseen, though. I think photos being banned is smart. Pictures from the collection will most likely be released on alexandermcqueen.com. Even though I wouldn't consider it disrespectful if pictures taken by photo agencies popped up on the web (like getty and corbis, etc.), I understand why the McQueen team would opt for no photos, especially personal photos that would instantly pop up on twitter...which I think would be pretty tasteless.

its probably is smart banning photographers from the presentation. it would be a complete circus and take away from the collection and from respecting mcqueen's recent passing.

rip

Yes, as its a special "presentation/memorial" as opposed to a standard collection, leaving out 3rd party photos makes sense.

It was an utter shock. RIP Lee. There was nobody better.

Hello, there
I'm still thinking about McQueen daily, I don't know why aside from a huge hero to me. Someone mentioned he hadn't looked well recently and I agree. As they say, the brightest lights burn for the shortest time.
I have mixed feelings about the presentation of the clothes next week; concerned that they were nowhere near finished and what is presented won't be what he wanted to be shown. I guess it'll be interesting to see what photos are made available.

Does anyone know if there is a thread for celebrities wearing Alexander McQueen? I know he was never quite as popular with the Hollywood set as some of the other big names, but I'd love to see risky fashionistas donning some of his threads.

You'd be surprised, he's label was pretty popular in Japan and Korea (going by what my friends have mentioned). Ayumi Hamasaki and Mika Nakashima (really popular j-pop stars) casually wear his dresses and whatnot during talk show interviews, etc...

Oh god. Mac Queen has died for some weeks now, and as usual, I've not been moved on the moment.
Now I browse through his whole work, and his final collection for the fall 10. it is splendid, it is awesome. only now, tears come. i'm so silly..
u will be missed, Mac Queen. Rest in peace.

Even day later, I wish you were here with us and celebrate your birthday. I miss you so bad and I can't stop thinking about you and I just can't accept the fact that you passed away. You were, are and will be terribly missed. I hope you're happy up there.
