'Tears in heaven'

You all know about the death of Alexander Mcqueen.A great disaster it was when some unknown person found him dead in his London apartment.It was not murder it was suicide.A spokeperson for the Coroner's Office comfirmed to the media that Alexander Mcqueen had hanged himself and left a note which makes his death not suspicious.Talk of suicide began hours after word of McQueen’s death got out in the media, especially since his mother had passed away just days before. The designer, it would seem, was having problems coping with the sudden loss, since he and his mom were very close. To make matters only worse, one of his close friends had also committed suicide weeks before, which deepened McQueen’s depression, it is being said.Now I will every month make a tribute to Alexander Mcqueen.I will like if you would join me. Lets start with a look at the clothes he has made.

And last but not the least, Alexander Mcqueen himself

  

Born on 17 March 1969 in Levisham, London, to Scottish taxi driver Ronald and social science teacher Joyce, McQueen was the youngest of six children.He grew up in a council flat in a tower block in Stratford. He started making dresses for his three sisters at a young age and announced his intention to become a fashion designer

McQueen attended Rokeby School and left aged 16 in 1985 with one O-Level in art,going on to serve an apprenticeship with Savile Row tailors Anderson and  Sheppard, before joining Gieves and Hawkes and, later, the theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans.The skills he learned as an apprentice on Savile Row helped earn him a reputation in the fashion world as an expert in creating an impeccably tailored look.
