I was thinking that my friends have a little obsession with Christmas and Alexander McQueen scarfs .

This extremely beautiful scarf I hopefully will get like Christmas present from my parents, my mom loves McQueen.What about my dad? He adores him. Me and friends had a long talk about McQueens scarfs and we all understood that we want it so badly. I'm sure after Christmas all island going to wear it after me and friends. How nice...
russian-serbian-korean long walk on sea side, of course one of us is wearing a scarf.
I think that Alexander is one of my favorite designers.

Alexander McQueen was born in London on March 17th 1969, the youngest of six children. He left school at the age of 16 and was offered an apprenticeship at the traditional Savile Row tailors Anderson and Shephard and then at neighbouring Gieves and Hawkes, both masters in the technical construction of clothing.From there he moved to the theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans where he mastered 6 methods of pattern cutting from the melodramatic 16th Century to the razor sharp tailoring which has become a McQueen signature. Aged 20 he was employed by the designer Koji Tatsuno, who also had his roots in British tailoring. A year later McQueen travelled to Milan where he was employed as Romeo Gigli�s design assistant. On his return to London, he completed a Masters degree in Fashion Design at Central Saint Martin�s. He showed his MA collection in 1992, which was famously bought in its entirety by Isabella Blow.Alexander McQueen shows are known for their emotional power and raw energy, as well as the romantic but determinedly contemporary nature of the collections. Integral to the McQueen culture is the juxtaposition between contrasting elements: fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, fluidity and severity. An openly emotional and even passionate viewpoint is realised with a profound respect and influence for the arts and crafts tradition. Alexander's collections combine an in-depth working knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, the fine workmanship of the French Haute Couture atelier and the impeccable finish of Italian manufacturing.In less than 10 years McQueen became one of the most respected fashion designers in the world. In October 1996 he was appointed Chief Designer at the French Haute Couture House Givenchy where he worked until March of 2001.In December 2000, 51% of Alexander McQueen was acquired by the Gucci Group, where he remained Creative Director. Collections include women's ready-to-wear, men's ready-to-wear, accessories, eyewear and fragrance (Kingdom 2003 and MyQueen 2005). Expansion followed and included the opening of flagship stores in New York, London, Milan, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.The following awards have recognized Alexander McQueen�s achievement in fashion: British Designer of the year 1996, 1997, 2001, and 2003, International Designer of the Year by The Council of Fashion Designer's of America (CFDA) in 2003, A Most Excellent Commander of The British Empire� (CBE) by her Majesty the Queen in 2003, GQ Menswear Designer of the Year in 2007.

"I saw that clutch when i was in Summer London, I was passing "Harrods" with friends and i stoped in Vivienne Westwood section, I frezed there for a bit and then i saw that clutch its just made me shake....  I love  it." 
  
After Alexander McQueen’s death, one of the ways many people reacted was shock followed by wanting to buy a piece from one of his last collections. The Skull Clutch is an iconic McQueen bag and all of the websites that previously had them in stock sold out within hours.
