Alexander McQueen - London boy RIP

Seems reasonable to ask why, given the stature of some of the people in the RIP thread, Alexander McQueen deserves a separate one all of his own? Not to doubt the sincerity of the people who have posted at all or to doubt that McQueen had talent, albeit in a milieu of greed, excess and exploitation but he was surely not so significant a figure as to warrant this.

Not that i am overly fussed about his passing, but he was one of the most culturally relevant figures of the 90's/Noughties - whether his relevance is something you detest or admire is irrelevant, but the tone of your comment suggests that rather than celebrate a creative talent, you would rather use him as another excuse to bemoan all that you see as being wrong in society.

We should be thankful that his ilk still appear the radar, otherwise all we would be left with is Posh, Becks, and DJ Otzi
