McQueen, 40, was found dead at his home in west London this morning. Scotland Yard is not treating the death as suspicious, but early reports of a suicide have not been confirmed by police.
"We are devastated and in shock," said Samantha Garrett, the communications director for the Alexander McQueen fashion house.
The designer's death comes on the heels of the Feb. 2 passing of his mother, Joyce. McQueen was scheduled to show a new collection in Paris early next month.
McQueen was beloved at the highest levels of fashion as the "enfant terrible" or "anarchist designer" of the industry. He was internationally acclaimed for both his clothes as well as his cutting edge fashion shows, considered by many to be performance art year after year.
Very very very sad. I guess success and fame doesn't buy happiness. And sadness can be so extremely serious.
R.I.P. Mr.McQueen.

GREAT IDEA!!!
The other day one of the wise ambassadors of the company I currently work for (who will remain nameless) told us that we should go to the Hurley building after hours and peep in their windows to see their design boards and see what they're making for the upcoming seasons.
Really? You're serious though...? As if you don't have a house full of completely talented creative individuals. If you would move the fuck out of the way, maybe you'd have some success.
I can't handle people. Maybe I'm in the wrong career field. Because as history continues to repeat itself, I consistently work for a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off. Patience is a virtue. I am waiting waiting waiting waiting.
SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVE.

You Said I Looked Very Kurt Cobain Today.
...and I'm really not bummed.
Great taste in flannels, and the overly thoughtful individual that you know is a loose cannon. "The mirror fucking image of no control" in the words of Brody Armstrong. Sounds about right. I'd rather be infamous than unknown.

WORKIN' HARD/HARDLY WORKIN'
I've been doin' a little of both lately I suppose. Well, a lot of both. I think really rad things are on the horizon. I am hopeful for the future.
Some recent stuff I've been working on.

REJUVINATION.
I think 2010 has good things in store for me. Actually, I think 2010 has good things in store for everyone. The economy is inching it's way back into good standing. The fashion industry is turning around... jobs are opening up... The future's looking bright. And I have some pretty rad new shades up in the mix. <3
I've had a recent surge of fury going through my veins motivating me to do some shit in the industry and take steps towards some of my personal and professional goals. It feels good. Like I said, I think there are bright things in my future in commerce. I'll leave it at that. Don't wanna jinx a good thing. And definitely don't wanna future fuck myself. That's really what I excel in. But I digress.
So, I gotta say....I am NOT one for trend forecasting. I just don't buy it. And how are you gonna catch the eye of a consumer when you're rollin' with trends that everyone else is also going with...? I mean, you ALL got the SAME advice from some supposed fashion forecasting guru. I hate that shit. Can't you be creative on your own? My idea has always been to just be (or wear) what you like and fuck the rest. People will love you or hate you, but you rock it regardless. I can't FORCE other people to buy into this concept (eh hem, my employers) but I can definitely carry that as my own personal credo.
So here's a lil' imagery of things floatin' my boat on the style scene for 2010. Just watch. You call me crazy now, but others will follow..........

Trends I think will POP. Disclaimer: Please note that lame cities and areas will catch on to rad fashion approx. 2 years after they've been rad. Just sayin'. Sorry, Fresno. You got moted.
Triblend/Heather Greys -- Ahhh, so dismal. Basic, but the triblend athletic look is just fuckin' cool no matter how you spin it. LOVE.
Gold and Silver Jewelry -- The days of choosing between rockin' gold OR silver are over. Who gives a fuck. Handle it. Get down with both. Then you're shoe or bag options aren't exed out because of the jewelry color you decided to wear.
Novelty Jewelry -- My personal faves: multi-finger rings... Score this little gem at Forever 21.
Don't be fooled, this is in no way a statement of my dedication to "the church". Think of it more along the lines of Ozzy Osbourne wearing crosses......
....and THIS fuckin' thing.....
Heyooooo. Chain harness of sorts. LOVE. About $200 but I'd say it's a conversation piece worth the price. I will start saving now.
Grunge -- Not goin' anywhere. Just gonna get worse (....better....) I'm sayin' Doc Martens back up the mix, tons of shoe companies doing their own variations, flannels staying around, the whole Courtney Love "I-am-a-total-mess-but-look-rad-still" style. LOVE.
Lace (in every form of it's being). Leggings, tank tops, cami's, on shoes, on bags... Watch yourself. But be careful, there's a fine line.
....AAAAAAAAAAND that's all I got for now. Chew on that one. <3
