RIP: Alexander McQueen...

     Alexander McQueen's life story was one of irresistible contradictions — the taxi-driver's son who made clothes for some of the richest people on the planet, the foul-mouthed ruffian with a sublime eye and adroit hands. His death on Feb. 11 at the age of 40 was in keeping with this theme: on the cusp of showing a new collection at Paris fashion week, the head of his own profitable label could apparently see no joy in what lay before him. McQueen died in the same way he did everything else: unexpectedly, controversially and as unbelievably as possible.
His body was found, reportedly hanged, in his Mayfair, London, home. Although it is difficult even for intimates to discern why anyone chooses to extinguish his future, many McQueen theories abounded. His twitter feed suggested he'd been having some dark times. His mother died just a week ago. His mentor and friend, Isabella Blow, had taken her own life a few years ago, after a diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
