Some sad news this week with the passing of the designer Alexander McQueen, apparently by suicide.

My first memories of him were watching “Style with Else Klensch” on CNN in the late 1980s (whatever happened to Elsa?) which was my only in pipeline to fashion and design in those days. I remember watching the backwards, non-interviews he gave when he was a student, refusing to face the camera and I thought, what a pretentious gimmicky thing to do! It was only years before I saw what he looked like.

What a wasted talent but very sad given that his death was to follow so closely on that of his mother with whom he apparently had a very close relationship. Only recently I featured some of his designs and collections and was growing to have a greater appreciation of his talent. Whether you loved his designs or not they were always thought-provoking and weirdly beautiful.
