Such a tragic loss! He was one of the first designers I admired as a geeky 15/16 year old opening up her first Vogue magazine. He was such an enormous talent!

I am so shocked. RIP Alexander McQueen

I was stunned by the news - and I can't bear to watch that footage of them moving his body from the house. I don't want to believe he's gone, and it makes it so starkly real.

This is terrible, I am in shock. One of the greatest talents in the world is gone, this will leave a massive void in the fashion world. I am so sad, I just cant believe this.

I have been dreading a day like this would come, the day one of my idols in the fashion world would leave us. This is horrible...

 

[Vevi]

I am so shocked as everybody else. I think I won't be able to process it for some time, this is simply too much ((( .

R.I.P. Alexander ... your work and you will never be forgotten.

 

[jemcakes]

Oh my god. OH MY GOD.

I'm in complete shock right now...

I am devastated and in complete shock. He was and will continue to be an influential figure in the industry. There was no one quite like him and there will be none after him. A true maverick. He made beauty amongst us but I can only hope that he finds beauty beyond this life. May his soul rest in peace. Love to his family and friends.

Went into my closet a few hours ago, looked at his dresses and just burst into tears. It's incredible that someone who I've never met can reach out and touch me like McQueen did through fashion.

I couldn't believe it when my gf called me today to tell me these sad news.
The imagery and aesthetics of a whole era was inspired by McQueen.

I always adored his dark, uncanny & often violent visions.

Can't stop thinking about his SS10 show, Plato's Atlantis. This collection and show (besides all ecologic implications) appeared to me as there was no death anymore in his creations. Only METAMORPHOSIS.

I wish he'll find his Atlantis on this last journey.

NOOOOO!!!!!!

RIP Lee...

I can't stop crying, I felt like he was an older brother... someone whom i looked up to because how had so much vision and passion that consumed his work and it always showed... I am completely devastated and I want nothing but love for his family and friends .

I was so shocked when I heard this terrible news. He was a genius. It's such a tragic and sad loss. How will fashion be without McQueen??

May you rest in peace, King A.

I am so stunned and saddened by his passing. He was one of the most innovative and talented designers in the fashion world, and his passing is a major loss to the fashion world. It's hard to even think he's gone. This is too tragic. RIP

Beautifully said.
And that was the best show of all SS10 fashion week!
I was extremely looking foward to what he would come up with next,
can't believe that now we'll never know.

I feel weird.....first thing I thought was just WHY?
But there's never a why.

 

[fincher]

Nobody can replace him, he will be missed so much... R.I.P. Lee

 

[LUXXX]

I found Karl Lagerfeld's statement to be very odd...I mean it was very him but still...

 

[atruedumail]

I'm shocked beyond words. I'm looking at his collections and listening to the music in them and... I'm shocked.

Does somebody has the music for his spring 08 show? I want to lock myself in my room and listen to that soundtrack over and over again.

 

[le'sof]

so so sad...
he was the most talented designer, his collections have no limits!
i cant belive this, too hard
RIP

 

[oiselet]

No!

RIP McQueen...
