Well, just like all the other fashionatics.. I'm in shock. I might have teared a bit as well.
Lee Alexander committed suicide.. sad.
"In 1996, the man nicknamed "the hooligan of English fashion", with his close-cropped hair and Doc Martens, was named head designer at the Paris couture house of Givenchy."
"On 3 February, he wrote on his Twitter page that his mother Joyce had passed away the day before, adding: "RIP mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx." Four days later he wrote that he had had an "awful week" but said "friends have been great", adding: "now i have to some how pull myself together".Thead, i enjoyed your post (btw) I've been looking at some McQueen lines and such and I thought "I bet Gaga is completely heartbroken"
Damn.. What a sick video.
He was the perfect choice to do the wardrobe for it.
Thead, I remember the first time you and I saw these.

This is too tragic.
