A palpable gloom was cast over fashion week with the passing of British designer Alexander McQueen early Thursday morning. Death by an apparent suicide, the designer shocked the fashion community and leaves behind vivid memories of one-of-a-kind fashion shows and spectacular talent. His outrageous designs, controversial concepts, and cinematic runway productions cast him into the realm of legendary designer and creative genius, and begs the question: What will become of his label? His work is both admired and relished, and he is truly one of the—if not the most—revered designers of his generation. His talent was remarkable, his vision unmatched, and his mark on the fashion world eternal. In admiration of The McQueen, here’s a look at what made him the legend he is.
