The sad loss of one of fashion's greats

I am not going to speculate about the circumstances or even pretend that I know enough about the fashion world to write a full and precise tribute but I feel it necessary to at least mark the passing of one of the greatest designers in modern times.

Alexander McQueen was hailed as an incredible talent with tremendous foresight. From his start on Savile Row to his more recent successes he always managed to produce something original, interesting and desirable.

For many his labels may have been unaffordable but they were very much loved with many trying to recreate the looks using pieces from the high street.

His foresight, originality and presence will, no doubt, be incredibly missed and leave an unfillable hole in British fashion.
