ONE HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN.

The tragic news of Alexander McQueen's death has hit us today. McQueen, 40, was such a powerhouse in the fashion world pushing innovation in all of his designs.

He was known for his dramatic statement pieces, of course, and impeccable tailoring, as well as a master a mixing fashion with design, technology, and performance at all of his shows. It was always about the entire package - the clothes and how the clothes would transform and walk right in front of the audience. His imagination, endless and always evolving, always pushed his work to new and daring heights, showing his passion for it. Without a doubt, McQueen transformed the way we all looked at fashion.

We lost one of the great ones today, a man who not only made incredible collections but who understood fashion, understood design in a way that was unique and daring and utterly fearless.
