Dear Readers,
this is a sad day for me! The world lost one of the most valuable genius in fashion - Alexander McQueen. Maybe for most of you the name means nothing...or almost nothing. However, this person left a very strong legacy in the history of contemporary art (particularly in fashion).
Anyway, it is not the time to give you lessons in costume history and luxurious business. It doesn't matter if you know his name or not. What makes me wonder is why big part of the artists leave this life at a very young age? Remember Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix...I can count and count...
Actually, I was thinking today that the sensitivity of the artists is something too dangerous! As much as you can see the world in beautiful colours...it is even more when you can see it painted in black! To notice the details...yes, it could be great...but you notice the bad small things as well...it is like your senses are sharper and you can feel everything harder than the others. Sometimes pain of being misunderstood is really awful...I know that it depends on the personality but come on...it is rare an artist to be that strong. Honestly, I have been on the edge as well but I have never crossed the line. I am not afraid to do it...on the contrary...I can be very brave in my self destruction but I have always thought I haven't given myself this life, so I have no right to take it away...I just have to live it on the maximum. But this is me...
Dear Readers...I am sorry...I cannot think right now, really! Maybe I sound insane but this colleague was very significant for my path as a designer. I have respected him very much and since we possesed the same sense for fashion, I feel really terribly about his loss. I believe the world of fashion would never be the same again!
R.I.P Alexander McQueen!
