The fashion world is devastated by the loss of one of it’s greatest and most fearless pioneers.
Alexander McQueen’s creative genius was daring. He broke all the rules and expanded the definition of fashion. What he did for us all was open our minds.
We must never forget the mark he has left on our world–though we doubt anyone will. Legends aren’t quickly forgotten.
In a tribute to McQueen, we’re looking back at some of our favorite designs–clothes that have certainly left their mark on us and looks we won’t ever forget.

- McQueen is the master of presenting collections. In one of his most memorable shows, he created a stunningly eerie hologram of Kate Moss spinning around in a swelling gown–it was hauntingly beautiful. On the right is an image from the collection he dedicated to Isabella Blow; the theme was birds. This finale look was the perfect tribute.
- This is probably our favorite McQueen collection. The designer spoke about his inspiration: “I’ve got a 600-year-old elm tree in my garden, and I made up this story of a girl who lives in it and comes out of the darkness to meet a prince and become a queen.” Here’s the darkness–and evidence that crinoline can be magical. And here’s the queen.
- The umbrella hat was amazing and it was one of our favorite things to see in fall editorials. It added a bit of humor to the spreads and always made us smile. And of course, no one feathers quite like McQueen.
- How do you choose a favorite look from this collection? We can’t, so here are some great ones.
- SS 10 continued.
