RIP ::

Alexander McQueen was found dead this morning in London. While no one will confirm the circumstances, his team will confirm that the designer committed suicide and that they are not treating the case as suspicious, according to wwd.

Tim Blanks beautifully writes for the Style file blog ::

" The death of McQueen’s mother last week would have validated his pessimism. It would undoubtedly have taken away his most vital support. It’s awful to imagine him trying—and failing—to cope, and one can only hope that, if he was looking for peace, he found it. For everyone left behind, there will eventually be consolation, however scant right now, in a body of work whose power will never die."

RIP Alexander, you will be missed.
