I wished I could say that I have always loved Alexander McQueen. The fact of the matter is, I didn't know his work very well to have an opinion. While I do know that he was (and still is) an influential designer, I never properly understood why.
When news broke that he was found hanging in the closet of his London home many years ago, I was just a rookie fashion journalist. I knew that, like the many fashion lovers, I was to feel sad about the passing of a design genius. But why?
