There is no doubt that since the wonderful Alexander McQueen passed away last month, there has been a huge void left in the designer clothing world.
But it’s good to see that his memory lives on, as he has now been awarded with a prestigious fashion accolade at the Brit Insurance Design Awards for his spring/summer 2010 collection.
And Paula Reed, judge and style editor over at Grazia magazine, says that the iconic clothing designer was a "clear winner".
"[He] had been working for years on developing fabrics that could blend the hard into soft and had pretty much come close to achieving that in this collection. The impressiveness simply compounds the enormity of his loss," states Paula.
She goes on to add that the award has not been given to McQueen purely on a sentimental basis and says that the video presentation of his last designer clothing showcase is "compelling".
It would seem that fashionistas the world over are still keen to add pieces of Alexander McQueen clothing to their collections – a dress by the designer, modelled by Kate Moss, was recently purchased at auction by Topshop boss Phillip Green for a staggering £100,000.
Do you think Alexander McQueen deserves this accolade?
