Alexander McQueen, Designer, Is Dead at 40

I consider him as someone who hacked the fashion industry by challenging the limits and norms. This is someone who dropped out of school at age 16 to pursue an his dreams, sold a company and influenced millions. He committed suicide today.

I think his Wikipedia is worth reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_mcqueen
