British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead this morning in his London home. He was only 40.
Wikipedia tells us McQueen was known as "l'enfant terrible" and the "hooligan of English fashion," but we always considered him the Reggie Jackson of menswear. His footwear collaboration with PUMA produced some of the most soaring home runs we've seen in the last decade, and we have filled our closets with multiple pairs.
Like Jackson, McQueen didn't just hit jaw-dropping home runs, though. He struck out frequently, and when he did, he never went down looking. Instead, he took some of the most audacious hacks we've ever seen. His strike-outs were, if not things of beauty, mesmerizing spectacles nonetheless.
It will be tough to fill his lizard-leather sneakers. RIP, Mr. McQueen.  posted:2.12.10 filed under:  via YOOX. $630.00.If you have money to burn and you want to go as a kaleidescope to your next Halloween party, Alexander McQueen has got you covered. Was $4,200. Now dramatically marked down. posted:7.2.09 filed under: via Puma. $250.00.Q: Are there any shoes you can think of that I can wear at the gym and with a suit?
--Nicholas
A: We've been thinking about this a lot lately so we're glad you asked. While no single shoe will simultaneously work for an AM 5K and a PM meeting with the CEO, Puma is the closest to cracking the code if, say, it's your lifting and not your cardio day. Their Black Label line, the Alexander McQueen collaboration, and some of the Rudolf Dassler stuff can do double duty, depending on the suit. (Again, we're working on one.) posted:4.27.09 filed under: via Alexander McQueen. $155.00.No one digs Alexander McQueen more than the MB. His collaboration with Puma has practically redefined men's footwear. But Spring 2009 is way, way too late in the game to be featuring skull accessories, even if they do have Swarovski crystal eyes. posted:3.2.09 filed under:Alexander McQueen makes beautiful $820 cashmere checked shirts and $1,920 trenches, but his greatest success is his footwear collaboration with Puma. He's made dozens of models for MBs who want to wear sneakers but don't want to look like they're wearing sneakers. "Casual, yet chic," as the ad copy says. And affordable. We cannot recommend these too highly. Take your pick at Zappos. posted:10.31.08 filed under:
