McQueen ruled as King

Devastation. Confusion. Heartbreak.
I am currently experiencing all of the aforementioned emotions due to the shocking news release of amazing designer Alexander McQueen's death. He took his own life this morning in his London home, the same day as the beginning of New York Fashion Week.
Enough of the same few sentences that every newspaper across the world is writing right now.
I'm so incredibly heartbroken at this news. McQ's designs were more than just fashion, they were wearable art. And what he created was more than just art, because the people fortunate enough to wear his creations are counted in history...especially now.
I'm curious as to what Lady Gaga will wear now.
And for anyone who wasn't already aware, McQueen designed the entire wardrobe for Gaga's "Bad Romance" video, which you can watch here.
Here are some of my favorite McQueen designs.



Rest in peace, Alexander McQueen. Peace be to the McQueen family in this time.
The fashion world will never be the same.
