Alexander McQ




I found this photo (bottom image ) on  pinterest and traced it back to the fun blog iiiinspired and couldn't resist sharing!
First the as an illustration:

 Now for the real thing:

Gorgeous right?  My life right now is soooooo far from Fashion but this is too beautiful to resist.  Alexander McQueen recently died, taking his own life.  Apparently he led a tortured existence but was a brilliant designer.   Genius and Depression are so closed linked and I guess always have been.  Too bad his work couldn't buoy him through it....

I couldn't post linkbelow the fashion illustration for eri the mermaid but you can find it here: *http://erithemermaid.blogspot.com/search/label/alexander%20mcqueen
