RIP Alexander McQueen

Today should be a happy day for fashionistas. However, the suicide of Alexander McQueen casts a gray shadow over the fashion world. He was only 40 years old.

In New York, the last Bryant Park fashion show is kicking off today, and it is the essentially Christmas Day for fashion lovers, but the loss of McQueen is devastating. The extremely talented and creative designer had one of the best and most talked about fashion shows in Paris last season. Recently, his designs have been everywhere, whether on Lady Gaga in her infamous "Bad Romance" video or on Lindsay Lohan for her spread in Purple Magazine. The loss of McQueen is one that will not be replaced.

Twitter flooded with tweets honoring the late designer, and while Fashion Week must go on, the days will be a little gloomier without the genius that was Alexander McQueen.
