Ed. Note: Yesterday, devastating news broke that clothing designer Alexander McQueen had committed suicide at the age of 40. McQueen’s designs were masterpieces, works of art, pieces that transcended typical fashion magazines and runways and wove themselves into the greater cultural psyche. His loss is a tragedy for not just the world of fashion, but for imagination.
Last March, we brought this post to you featuring 30 of McQueen’s looks taken from his 2009 Fall line at Paris Fashion week. We dubbed them “scary,” due in large part to the line’s morbidity — something often found in his work. We bring this post to you again today to just give you an idea as to some of McQueen’s genius and madness. As you’ll see, the critics weren’t biting, but taking a closer look at the clothes, we can assure you you’ve never seen anything else like them.

Alexander McQueen revealed his latest crazy/genius Fall line at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, and critics went coo-coo for cocaine puffs, calling McQueen — snootily — enfant terrible. We thought “How bad could these outfits possibly be?” and then immediately sh*t our pants with fear. The outfits weren’t so much to be the problem… moreso the lippy glassy-eyed ghost brides McQueen hired to model his creations. Also? Some of the outfits. So without further ado:

Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that’s the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and… this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video’s a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember… and I need to remember… Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it, like my heart’s going to cave in.”
1. The “Do You Take Credit?”
