As my favourite designer, inspiration and icon in fashion, it pains me to write this piece.
Lee McQueen's unfinished collection was shown in a private state apartment in Paris this week. His collection was acclaimed by many critics as "heart-breakingly beautiful." and how right they were. His surreal designs captured elegance and pure beauty. The stunning cuts, perfect drapes and delicate grace in his prints were a reflection of his flawless talent and innovative eye for design.
McQueen was, and still is, irreplaceable. He was a designer that could express emotion with a single cut or print and therefore he never should be replaced, but remembered. It is now that his final collection has been shown he will be able to properly rest in peace, it is just a tragic shame Lee is not here to reap the reward and praise received.
