Alexander McQueen trained on Savile Row and became the most theatrical designer of his generation, winning British Designer of the Year four times. He died at 40, days after his mother.
“I want to empower women. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.”
Memories, thanks and farewells from the people Alexander touched.
Gone too soon, even at any age. There was so much more to come.
To the family: you shared Alexander with all of us for so long. Thank you. We're holding you in our thoughts.
Alexander once said something in an interview that changed how I thought about my own work. I've never forgotten it.
Couldn't agree more.
Lighting a candle from Brazil. Alexander meant a great deal to a lot of us here.
Same here. Exactly this.
I met Alexander once, very briefly, and they were kind to a nervous stranger. That's what I'll remember.
Sending love to everyone grieving today. Alexander belonged to all of us, and we all lost something.
Yes. This.
I cried when I heard the news, and I'm not ashamed of it. Alexander was part of the soundtrack of my life.
I never met Alexander, but I feel like I grew up with them. Thank you for being part of my life.
There are people you assume will always be there. Losing Alexander feels like losing a piece of the furniture of the world.
Couldn't agree more.
Thank you, Alexander. For the joy, the honesty, and for showing up when it mattered.
Not many people can say they made millions of strangers feel less alone. Alexander could.
A life fully lived. Thank you, Alexander.
184 people are remembering Alexander here. Light a candle when words are hard. It stays here.
Be the first to give.
Yes. This.
Beautifully said.
