A large portion of my first semester at LIM College was spent researching McQueen and his career for a class project. I admit now that a part of me fell in love with not only the exquisite designs, but the beautiful mind of the designer himself. To simply look at McQueen’s contributions to fashion was to be transported to a different time, a different universe. His was the mind of a dreamer, someone who may have found it hard to exist happily in this business where creativity is eclipsed by supply-and-demand. That same melancholy, gothic beauty embodied by his collections now perfectly describes McQueen himself, and his creations will undoubtedly be the torch that carries on his extraordinary legacy for decades to come.
