Alexander McQueen, 1969-2010

One of my all-time favorite artists in the textile medium. He rose to fame so fast, especially with such high-profile pop singers like Lady Gaga putting his designs on the pop culture map. He was so young. Years of potential left in the man. What a shame.

And although I've posted the video before, here again in tribute is Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" video, featuring Alexander McQueen's famous lobster claw and HR Giger-inspired alien 10-inch heels as pictured above.

RIP Mr. McQueen.
