RIP Alexander McQueen CBE : 1969 - 2010

I can't quite believe he's taken his own life. Such a shame.

Yeah, I was completely shocked when I saw it was a suicide. RIP

I wouldn't expect this to make me so sad, not that I saw it coming, but I think I might end up with a knot in my throat for a good part of the day.

I honestly can't believe it. I'm in shock.

I am in shock. I don't want to believe it. It can't be true. Lee Alexander McQueen, RIP.


oh god, this is so sad. I can't remember the last time the death of a stranger affected me so much. Perhaps because we feel like we know him through his art. I don't even know what to say.
