The fashion community came to a halt today when it lost one of its icons, Alexander McQueen.

Known for his aesthetically striking and daring creations, Alexander McQueen was known as a revolutionary designer who came to define the world of fashion in the 21st century. Most would have heard of Alexander McQueen through the equally theatrical Lady Gaga who wore his designs in her video clip for the cult pop hit Bad Romance.

If anyone knew how to turn heads, it was Alexander McQueen.

The girls at Saxonne want to pay their respects to the legendary designer and the many loved ones he left behind. This man was an inspiration and we’re sad to see him leave us at far too young an age. The fashion world will not be the same without him.
