With the sad news of Alexander McQueen's passing, we created a tribute to the British designer; this slideshow showcases all of our favourite features of Alexander McQueen innovations over the last few years. The eccentric designer, who was only 40 when he took his own life, has left an impression on the fashion world that cannot be forgotten.
From gloriously creative campaigns to pieces of his furniture line to the Armadillo shoes Lady Gaga so recently made famous, this is our tribute to Alexander McQueen.
