blimey

Never heard of her.

Time to resurrect some of those Versace jokes, then...

How do you tell a McQueen shirt ..... five holes - four buttons.

McQueen always was a fashion victim.

The police have caught the killer, he is pleading not Gaultier.

McQueen was shot with a Moschino gun.

The killer is at large and is Armanied and dangerous.

The police think this wasn't an isolated incident and are still trying
to find a pattern for the murders.

Apparently he was shot in the face .........not for the first time!!!

Shame! RIP mister who died a few days after his mother.

That's just really sad.

sounds like he top hatted himself

Got to wonder if that's why...

Am gutted - had just run out of his perfume.

I'd never heard of him either.

Blimey. I'm surprised that people hadn't heard of him. I wouldn't exactly call myself a "dedicated follower of fashion" (as anyone who has met me can testify ) but he's (or rather was) one of the most famous British fashion designers of the last 20 years.

Yes, but had he had any kind of recognition outside his industry?

I'm not familiar either...

Could be. Shame his poor boyfriend.
Must admit haven't heard of him either but still sad for the fashion world and that of perfumes.

Your line in stripey shirts suggests otherwise Mark.

Fashion is not my cup of tea and I'm allergic to various perfumes ...

nevertheless I know his name. so RIP ... ... and even more since ...

He was my favourite designer - one of the few big names who I would actually wear clothes by (if I could afford them, which I can't). Very sad.

"turn to the right"

"shake to the left"

well i'm watching de wereld draait door and this subject has come up.

his lifestyle is what did it. a mistress (dutch) only wore his shoes for the one roll playing lovers that had a feet fetish.

now it all makes sense.

"bab-bab-bab-ba..."
