Alexander McQueen famous quote

“The pink sheep of the family”

“I have so much respect for him, and I don’t even think he will mind.”

“I kind of like it the way it is right now, … I believe in that one-on-one sell. I don’t really believe in flooding the market with loads of goods that don’t mean much, and (you) lose your identity.”

“If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I’m not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.”

In 2003 McQueen was presented with the International Award by The Council of Fashion Designers of America and also received a CBE. By 2007 he had opened boutiques in cities across the world, including in Las Vegas, New York and Milan. And A list celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman were wearing his creations on red carpets from LA to London.

It was announced on 11 February 2010 that McQueen had been found dead at his Mayfair home. The news came just days after the death of his beloved mother, Joyce.

Lee McQueen will be remembered for introducing us to the “bumster”, for his fabulous tailoring, outrageous style and enormous talent. He is much mourned by the fashion community.

  1. I’m afraid I haven’t received something snarky to say. I know quite a few nice people with four kids; it is not an exceptiona­lly huge loved ones besides maybe in Hollywood, precisely marriages possess a tendency not to last and ladies have a to not want to put their figures around the line for motherhood­. These two seem to become about as normal because it will get in Celebrityl­and; congratula­tions on their fourth child and upcoming 12 year anniversar­y.
