Hello Darlings,
This comes as a complete shock…. Alexander McQueen was discovered dead today after taking his own life.
” At one level, he was a master of the fantastic, creating astounding fashion shows that mixed design, technology and performance and on another he was a modern-day genius”
- Vogue Editor, Alexandra Shulman
“The industry was left reeling after the 40-year-old’s suicide this morning, which comes just days after the death of his beloved mother, Joyce. It is also just three years since his close friend, style guru Isabella Blow - who plucked him from obscurity and helped him become a star - killed herself.”
I cannot image runway without his works… it is such a loss! I was shocked t0 read the news today. McQueen was a creative genius who is irreplaceable… and although his life was cut short, his works will live on forever. He will never be forgotten, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends!
‘What a terrible, tragic waste.’
- Katherine Hamnett
‘He was a genius and his talent was second to none.’
- Matthew Williamson
‘He leaves the fashion world with an unfillable void.’
- Dolce & Gabbana

With Love…Marta

Can you imagine the dark thoughts that must have plagued his mind this past year. It brings shivers to my spine when someone takes their life. On a happier note, I love your tumblr collaboration with Andrew. He posts good youtube videos. And I’m obsessed with youtube so *two thumbs up*!
