Fashion designer, Alexander McQueen [photo from the Telegraph]

It is with great shock that I relay that Alexander McQueen is dead. I just read it on Twitter, and clicked through to this article in the Telegraph. How could this be? He was so very talented. I always wish when I read stories like this that someone could have read the signs and intercepted. No human should have to get so desperate to get to this point. I hope they honor him before each and every show at The Tents today. New York Fashion Week started this morning.

There are so few truly inspiring creative designers left. McQueen's last collection
featuring a metamorphosis that was rather mind-boggling. Models transformed from
snake to antelope to armadillo to goat with a little bit of Africa and
Ancient Greece and modern computer-generated cyclops mixed in.
Truly an amazing show.

McQueen's Twitter account has been pulled -- @Mcqueenworld -- and his site is black. That is harsh. Dying in the internet world is strange. His Web people were "on it" right away. I wish we could leave flowers here: http://www.alexandermcqueen.com/

Alexander McQueen's Twitter page, @Mcqueenworld, was pulled
when the news of his death hit. Apparently his final Tweets indicated
a troubled state of mind. Read them here.
