Pure, untamed, beautiful, strong, poignant and mostly courageous talent. A genius, an extravagant and colourful engine moving the fashion world forward. He will be forever loved and missed by Fashion Limbo and the rest of the world.
Long live Armadillo shoes, forever strong shall the low cut "bumster" trouser reign, diamond clad skulls may always be worn...A legend is born, RIP Alexander McQueen.
