Who?

this is a real tragedy to the fashion world-he will certainly be missed by all-so sad that he was silently suffering-may is sole rest in peace and may we never forget that people are troubled even though we think they have the perfect life.

Who cares?

Please explain how you put a dead man on trial for committing suicide? That makes no sense at all. He killed himself, so how can you sentence him to death when he is already dead? Besides, it's his life and he wants to end it that's his business and no one elses.

The homophobic, and ingnorant remarks made here by some people are apalling. I can't believe this is how the world still is. And it's no wonder why the teen glbt suicide rate is up. It's because of you ignorant bastards who have no heart, nor compassion. It's a sad day in the fashion industry. Alexander Mcqueen was and is a fashion icon, and it's sad his life was cut short. RIP.

RIP Alexandre McQueen. You are in the Lords hands and with your mother. Hopefully you are happy and the pain has subsided. Give a kiss to Mrs Blow for all of us

Clearly troubled. I never heard of him til now but out of curiosity I wanted to see his last collection. Clearly his Fall Collection 2010 says a lot about his state of mind. Look at the clothing which depicts a sense of emptiness. When you view the stage backdrop you can see skulls in the decor as well as what appears to be the guts of something. A sweater which has a builtin design of skull and crossbones. Unhappy and void of hope.

One less freak in the world. Good riddance.

Ah, I see from the rude remarks here the creatures from the cesspool of life are still alive.

PLEASE stop misusing the word, "homophobic." By definition, a homophobe is one who is afraid of homosexuals, NOT necessarily one who makes disparaging remarks about homosexuals or who simply disagrees with the homosexual lifestyle. "Homophobe" and "homophobic" have been misused (mainly by the politically correct crowd) to label anyone who does not accept with open arms the homosexual agenda. And its wrong.

"If more people knew they could get the death penalty, maybe they wouldn't be committing suicide"?

What?

For a gay man who is forty and that ugly, there is no other way out. Let's hope he finds peace on the other side!

Although i dont even have anything created by McQueen, i will still miss the designer.

Hey, it's fine to disagree with a person choosing to be gay. That kind of lifestyle is wrong, after all. But there's no need to use really ugly words as you did. Your case goes right down the drain when you display meanness like that.

I AM SICK. I AM A FELLOW DESIGNER. HE HAD SUCH A GREAT TALENT. GOD BLESS

Plain and simple....my sympathy to the family, friends, and fashion community in the loss of Alexander McQueen. The overwhelming saddness he felt in losing his mother and close friend was too much for him to handle alone. May he rest in peace. For those who feel the need to respond with negative comments...do something kind to a complete stranger today or in the near future, and see how it feels.
