McQueen was openly gay and said he realized his sexual orientation when very young.[24] He told his family when he was 18 and, after a rocky period, they accepted his sexuality.[5] He described coming out at a young age by saying, “I was sure of myself and my sexuality and I’ve got nothing to hide. I went straight from my mother’s womb onto the gay parade”.[25]
In the summer of 2000, McQueen unofficially married his partner George Forsyth, a documentary filmmaker, on a yacht in Ibiza.[26] The relationship ended a year later and McQueen and Forsyth formed a close friendship.[27]
McQueen received press attention after the May 2007 suicide of international style icon Isabella Blow. Rumours were published that there was a rift between McQueen and Blow at the time of her death, focusing on McQueen’s under-appreciation of Blow.[28] In response to these rumors, McQueen told an interviewer:[18]
| “ | It’s so much bollocks. These people just don’t know what they’re talking about. They don’t know me. They don’t know my relationship with Isabella. It’s complete bullshit. People can talk; you can ask her sisters … That part of the industry, they should stay away from my life, or mine and Isabella’s life. What I had with Isabella was completely dissociated from fashion, beyond fashion. | ” |
McQueen was an accomplished scuba diver and used his passion as a source of inspiration in his designs, including spring 2010’s “Plato’s Atlantis.” Much of his diving was done around the Maldives.

Wikinews has related news:British fashion designer Alexander McQueen found dead at age 40 |
McQueen’s death was announced on the afternoon of 11 February 2010. He was found hanged that morning in his wardrobe[30] by his housekeeper at his home on Green Street, London W1. Paramedics were called and they pronounced him dead at the scene.[1]
McQueen died days before London Fashion Week, though he was not scheduled to show,[31] and nine days after the death of his mother, Joyce, 75, from cancer.[citation needed] David LaChapelle, a friend of the designer said that McQueen “was doing a lot of drugs and was very unhappy” at the time of his death.[32]
McQueen left a note saying “Look after my dogs, sorry, I love you, Lee.”[33] The Metropolitan Police stated that the death was not suspicious, but did not confirm that the death was a suicide.[34]
Sarah Burton worked very CLOSELY with Alexander for years…and is carrying on his line with her own original Electricity ….
Queen Elizabeth just ALWAYS amazes me at 85 – she is really THE symbol of continuity – of love – for her country and family – she looked so smart in her BRILLIANT YELLOW….I know a lot of people think that the monarchy is past its time – but SHE totally has lasted past all presidents, popes, etc …and CONTINUES to non-stop GIVE….name another person who has done this…..that is her age…..
I think my muse has left the room – as I was originally going to go into a darker space – as I just had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants….but will leave those thoughts for another day….and am glad I do not have any dogs (just joking Rick)…….
but the friend of mine who was closer to me than anyone in Life for 8 hard working, expensive years – my partner Liz Nesser – whom I mentioned in last weeks blog….died this Monday
