Alexander McQueen (RIP)

Today is Tragic!! Today we found out that the Great Designer and visionary, Alexander (Lee) McQueen has died… For me i only had the pleasure to meet him once in Paris.. But i had been fortunate enough to attend 2 shows of his in Paris.. Along with some of the most innovative and breathtaking designs… a McQueen show was a breathtaking visual experience of viewing a collection as art.. I always admired him for is conceptual presentations.. He always left me speechless both with his designs and concepts to show them.. from the Chess Board, 3d holograms, dance marathon, robots to the 2 way mirror.. Nobody and I mean Nobody did it like Lee !!!! He will be missed not only by his family and friends (who my heart goes out to) but by the many many he inspired. including myself..

Here is an image from a shoot i did with 2 way mirror box right before (coincidence) Alexander had his runway show behind the same type of glass.. the black cape she is wearing in this shot is of course.. Alexander Mcqueen…

view his shows and designs and revel in the genius that was Alexander McQueen
