INCOMPARABLE...

Diane von Furstenberg: "Today designer Alexander McQueen passed away...His talent was immense and he will remain immortal in the history of Fashion."

Stella McCartney: "Lee was a fashion genius. I don’t say that lightly, and it is a total shock that I am referring to him in the past tense. He was a real friend. I will miss him as a mate, a peer, and as a true British talent, full of life and energy in everything he ever did.”

Karl Lagerfeld: "It’s a loss for the fashion industry. His story was one of success and talent, but that may not be enough to keep you alive.”

Donna Karan: "It’s shocking to think that something like this could happen to somebody of that ability, who has that creativity and expression and love inside of him. There are very few people you look at who are icons of creativity.”

Francois-Henri Pinault: "Alexander McQueen was one of the greatest fashion designers of his generation. His genius, sometimes provocative, admired and saluted by all, constantly opened new perspectives. Visionary and avant-garde, his creations took their inspiration from both tradition and timeless hyper-modernity."
