Alexander McQueen was one of the few clothing designers that implemented nearly every art style into his designs.

Some of the most amazing clothes, a fantastic designer!

I first fell in love with Alexander McQueen as a kid browsing through fashion magazines and seeing his ethereal works on those beautful models posing at the edge of the runway for a photo. It inspired me to pursue art. That was about 15 years ago. Now I still am pursuing it. I have to say, I've never ever experienced anything like Alexander McQueen.

Sam Towers kind of like yourself. You’re dismissed now.

There’s some serious art going on here. No posing, no pretence. Pure, unadulterated wearable art.

To live in THAT level of being true to oneself is absolutely phenomenal! So few can...

I'm no designer... but I have loved fashion all my life. When I read the comments below, I'm forced to sit back and think a moment. About my love, about expression, about the fashion "show" in general. I'm an author, so please keep in mind that my daily fashion choices are all about function. But isn't that life, in general? Isn't life so boring that when we crave something different and new, we turn to entertainment - and flat-out expect that it will be bigger, better, more interesting, and frankly (usually) impossible in real life? We watch movies about treasure hunters, star fighters, time travelers. We read books about missions impossible, magic, and miracles. And then we return to our lives a little less bored, a little more capable of facing the next day. The fashion show is no different. It is not a fashion "shopping mart." It is a show. As in show business. Bigger, better, more extravagant - entertaining. Its purpose is to thrill, excite, inspire. And then from these inspiring visions come the wearable fashions that find their ways into the stores next season. These are the toned-down models, the wearable versions of the works of art that graced the catwalk in all of their unwearable glory. The fashion show is a designer's soul, filled with pain and anxiety, depression and nightmares, regrets and loss - and vision and hope. No one who loves fashion will ever forget, for instance, Kate Moss's hologram slowly spinning to Schindler's List because Lee Alexander McQueen wanted to give her a chance and support her. Because that was the kindness of his soul, and she helped him reveal it.

It makes me so sad he isn't here to design today. I love his clothing and designs, literal works of art ❤️

I miss you Lee McQueen, I miss your talent I mis the runway I miss the drama I miss your work...

Unprecedented talent. Spooky glamour. Genius.

McQ makes ART. Pure Art.

The world will never have another McQueen.

I never thought I could come to appreciate fashion as an art form until I saw a photo exhibit of some of Alexander McQueen's pieces from his Savage Beauty collection at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. I was smitten so much that I HAD to buy the photo book of the complete collection at the museum gift shop that very same day.

I'm so totally not a fashion person, but some of what McQueen did is quite amazing. The textures are so fascinating, from fur and feathers to metal that's practically armour.

Except for the "armadillo shoes" I think all of his pieces are simply beautiful works of art! What a shame he isn't here anymore! :(

I HOPE YOU FINE PEACE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING IN THE AFTERLIFE MAY YOU HAVE A GREAT JOURNEY TO THE AFTERLIFE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN FOR YOU'RE MASTERPIECE OF ART AND OF COURSE YOU THE MAN WHO DIDN'T COMPREHEND THE NOTORIOUS EFFECTS OF LIFE THAT GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR HIM. SINCERELY MAY YOU FINE WHAT YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR ALEXANDER MCQUEEN FIERCELY MADE TO DESIGN

Will forever remember visiting this exhibition when I was studying. It impacted everyone. Constant gasps and “wow”, “how?!”.

Isabella’s light brought so many great artists to the public eyes

Just incredible just works of art what a talent what a man xx

Ich war dort und es schnürt mir immer noch die Kehle zu, wenn ich den Katalog oder Videos ansehe. Es war quasi eine Reise durch Lee McQueens Leben und wenn man am Ende der Ausstellung ankam, war klar, dass sein Leben nur so enden konnte. Es berührt mich immer noch sehr und ich bin so froh, diese Ausstellung gesehen zu haben.

UNDERSTANDING THE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE UNTIL THEY LOSS IT WHITCH IS LIFE.

Amazing just love him xxxx

What a loss. He was brilliant. From Marshalltown, Iowa USA 🇺🇸

We will never see that level of artistry again. Every secind cepleb now churns out "ranges".

Clothing makers super talented!!!

The best designer in the world. Hands down.

The music 💕💕💕

He had no peers. His creativity and vision were another level compared to other designers.

An incredible artist

I still can’t believe he’s gone 😢

F'N GENIUS. NUFF SAID.

Viewed by a two way mirror...when I started out nursing on a pyschiatric ward we had these

Amei ver alguns trabahos dele: lindos e extremamente singulares ! Vai do preciso corte de alfaiataria à loucura: amo!

The only brand that is creatively genius in everything they do.

R.I.P. Alexandre dear

Stunning, insightful, and edgily beautiful. I'm concerned that his flirting with the dark side may have pulled him into an early demise. Don't go there!

Genius

It saddens me to know and see how much he was trashed at the beginning of his career...

Feel really dumb for missing this when it came thru NYC.

th guy wza genius tru artist freak, RIP!

This video is better than the whole McQueen movie.

It would be really difficult for me to be face to face with his pieces and not want to reach out and touch them....they are so tactile.

Interesting topic, but the sound quality was miserable on this video.

today is ten years

dying so early just made his brand even stronger

music credits?

I remember once, while accepting an award, McQueen said "tell Marilyn Manson to get off my tit." I think he may have overestimated Marilyn Manson because at that time, the brilliant Floria Sigismondi was in charge of creating his aesthetic. This was around the time of Antichrist Superstar, before that awful attempt at glam or whatever. Anyway, if you watch the video for Tourniquet, that's Floria's work and I can tell she is very inspired by McQueen. I've heard her refered to as the female Tim Burton, but I don't think so. Her shit is just dark with no comedic edge. I love her stuff.

Miguel angel Kiro Irizarry some people need to learn about compassion and empathy instead of believing in some imaginary sky fairy called god.

Comics superheroes have always the same mission, fans, fighting back evil and evil never sleeps, never give up to evolve and become vicious, never dare to convert its evil nature. Some people feels like worthless if not hurting or damaging the others to restrain fantasy and stop human evolution, having this kind of obsession of posession, treating us as hostages to be locked in zoo cages and decide for us how to live, they just can not release their minds and do things on their own, think about it fans, why is it so important to keep alive this passion for dreaming forward, we try to release people, mostly those who have the obsession for posession

God.

Most of his creations looks like a horror, or a costumes from a war movies...

He couldn't have been true to oneself. He hasn't been oneself for a very long time. If you don't search for yourself, you'll not see the paradigm. He built from nothing to a massive wealth, the only way to do so was to clone himself. We know the truth. I see his others he built from youth. Cannot deny the truth in which we rely, the vlash and maitre are getting very rye. Thanks New annunakenne

I feel so selfish. I feel that I was cheated because I would no longer see his genius nor his demons.

The best location for dating your new cyber supporters in a very dark rainy Sunday noon fans, trying to find out the symbiotic link we have with the Holy Creation and ask, some visionary memories from future which turn they should have on all of us? A very exciting adventures of explorers, how come such visions surface and how to understand them for improving our future fans, l am watching on TV a show about Comics Grafic novels festivals, where from are coming such great visions?

Alexander Mcqueen? He passed away due to suicide in 2014 iirc

One might ask yourself . why did he commit suicide? Maybe he wanted to be at the top when he died.maybe he wanted to be remembered as one of the best designers of all time????

Dior destroyed his brand

Not really a fan of McQueen. Some of his clothing lines included absolutely absurd designs that one really couldn't wear to an event & not be stared at as coming across as (what the hell is that? ) The shoes on those mannequins are horrific. They resemble a cows feet and they are totally unwalkable to wear. Not a fan.

Unwearable fashion. Absurd and narcissistic.

Ужас. Психиатрия чистой воды

Unwearable fashion that looks better on a lifeless mannequin than on a real woman. Professional models had to be taped and wrapped into the clothes (aka torture devices) just to stagger down the runway. Fashion died in the 20th century. Designers now make absurd works of abstract art which can not be worn without duct tape and cellophane.

Fashion design is about art. Especially this kind of fashion design. It's not meant to be worn, it's meant to be art. And this art, is moving on a person meant to be showcased as such. Figure fashion art like this as a kinetic sculpture and stop getting your head stuck in the past like an ostrich in the sand.
