"The Life And Death of Alexander Mcqueen" - the title of my English Language coursework essay, I think i'm going to geek out big time on this.
Finding all the research for this piece was really interesting, moving and upsetting. The fact that he purposefully hung himself with "his favorite brown belt" in his London flat because he couldn't cope with the depression he was fighting after tragically losing his mother only days earlier. To make matters worse McQueen was also mourning the upcoming Anniversary of his dear friend Isabella Blow, a stylist, who died back in 2007 after taking a drugs overdose.
Although my main intention of my Essay was to write a more fashion based piece focusing on McQueen's inspiring collections and magnificent talent I feel, after doing so much intense research, that I should focus more on his life and his death and pay tribute to the Man and the legend that is Lee Alexander McQueen.
R.I.P
