He sounds so nice, down-to-earth, real, pure and human. He was so gifted and talented. So sad he did not find a way out. Still find it very sad that he is gone.
He was nothing but himself. So unpretentious ... I find that I usually can't sit through interviews of designers but I've never had a problem listening to him talk about fashion because it is what it is. It's clothes "it won't cure cancer".
vindemiatrix He was pretentious AF (just like his shows), since he wanted people to see him as a genius. Lol as if he was making the cure to cancer when he was just making unwrreable clothez
GodBlessAmerica 2018 He clearly was genius. And if you couldn’t wear his clothes it’s because you didn’t have the aura and the confidence to do so sweetie. The joke is on you. Now go back to parading around in your beige H&M trousers while trying to critique people with actual taste. You’re dismissed.
I had the honour of meeting Alexander McQueen twice! At both times I did not know who he was and did not recognise him! His stare or the way he looked at you was so intense! I was petrified of him and completely speechless! He was so talented!
@@PiTjlang Mostly true but that's very black and white thinking. They're exceptions to the rule, many. But yes most celebrities are Cluster B Personality Disordered psycho's.
One of the most amazing and creative forces in fashion, and a fantastic, real, and unpretentious soul. He was lightyears ahead of his time.... and will always be one of the most incredible designers ever. R.I.P. Lee... you are extremely loved and missed.
I had the pleasure of working with Alexander McQueen at London fashion week as part of his hair team and he was a true inspiration and so very creative. It will taKe a very long time for the fashion industry to find such innovative creatiVity again... he lost his life because of the death of his mother and that was his choice. I hope he can look down and realise the great legacy that he chose to leave behind.. R.I.P and thankyou for what you brought to all fashion too
a friend of mine [ les child ] choreographed quite a few of his shows in the 90s, he was close friends with McQueen x a great loss to the world of fashion, if only he had lived same I think with izzy blow if she had lived things would be so much better
@@jdb7752 I didn't realize they were still friends - thought they went their separate ways when he went to Givenchy. Nice to know they stayed in touch.
He died by suicide not because his mother died. He died from massive depression that he had had for many years. He was holding off on suicide because he knew it would destroy his mother. After his mother died, he gave himself the freedom to take his own life.
a boy from my our own city... london. what a talent....this bloke wouldnt hire kids from celeb families cos they fit the bill,!!!! RIP lee, a true true original XXXXXXX
The best thing about Lee was his honesty. He would laugh at all this applause. He was a genius, but he and we all knew that. He hated fashion but had to engage with it. I wish he was still here.
Rudi Gernreich nor McQueen is the OG Rebel of Fashion. That title belongs to someone before the silly name tag 'Rebel' was bandied about. HER name: Elsa Schaparelli.
I think his clothes were to be seen at the MET Gala. And I wonder.if his mother gave the money that he needed to pay for everything? And when she died? He wouldn't be able to continue his craft? But so what if he was on drugs? That's a very mean thing to say about a fantastic designer! ❤😢❤
Seems quite clear from this interview he was frustrated with arrogance, the pompous attitudes of high society and the scrutiny by severity that came attached to his efforts of creating beautifully designed clothes, and the distractions of harsh judgment, of a rebel, placed on him, even laughable as he were trying to do so. It also seems, beneath the vibrant smile, some amount of insecurity/uncertainty, not feeling entirely confident in his own skin, so unfortunate, as he had every reason to find his own confidence. If only he had the anchor of strength preventing him from taking his own life, he would have been around more years making or influencing fashion, as he really was great, at it, with it. From there, the hope he would’ve made it to the afterlife and at that point, there would definitely have been, no uncertainty and full confidence. Hopefully he will find Rest In Peace, tragic end, beautiful life story of sorts.
its seems obvious from on the other side of his life that he did not believe 90% of what he just said. he would have been a killer conceptual designer/visionary for hollywood. however his fashion is just not clothing for actually wearing.not if u have to do shyt for a living. which makes it pointless in the twilight of capital.
+the EQUATION Yes. I think he could never quite reconcile the purity of his art with the fickleness of the fashion industry. As much as he claimed "it's just clothes", he was extraordinarily sensitive to criticism of his work. The industry is relentless and sucks dry the designers that give it life. Lee was bursting with creativity and a real visionary but it was tempered by the rules and restrictions of an industry that operates on dollars, cents and "the next best thing". I would've loved to see Lee change media to, as you suggested, something like conceptual design or architecture or something that didn't run like a hamster wheel out of control, going faster and faster until it broke down.
@orangewedges I see his clothes for something "ALWAYS," for the MET Gala. I now wonder if his mother financially spent money for his work? I am looking up all the designers? And I bet his mother continually paid for Lee's designs? I dunno?
He asked to be interviewed with his back to the camera because he was using governmental money for unemployment and was afraid to get caught 🙄 if you wanna talk about him do something call research 😂
Imagine calling someone who killed himself selfish because he killed himself. If there’s any god that created us, I thank him for not making me this fucking stupid.

Damn that’s gotta be the biggest burn I’ve read in quite some time.
He looked like a very cool guy!
@@michaelvaughn3703 🤣
This dude looks like he works at game stop yet he is a straight up fashion god
Dylan Johnson He was another example of how someone looks can be very deceiving.
Most designers actually do be wearing very 'regular' clothes like normal street style you would be shocked!
Clothes that no one will wear.
I had the honour of meeting Alexander McQueen twice! At both times I did not know who he was and did not recognise him! His stare or the way he looked at you was so intense! I was petrified of him and completely speechless! He was so talented!
He's a person like you--no better no worse

I never knew much about him but I admired his couture for years. I watched, "McQueen and I" last night and I was touched by it.
"seen it, done it, bought the t-shirt" lol, Lee was the best
Wow, he was so inspiring.
He looks so down to earth.
IF ITS NOT FOR YOU TURN THE PAGE..... brilliant!
Alexander McQueen shall always be worshipped in my hometown Lovech,Bulgaria.May his amazingly bold soul rest forever soothed in the Heaven of God....
An absolute icon, such an amazing artist.
It's a shame he's gone... He's out of misery though. No more battling.
What was he battling
a boy from my our own city... london. what a talent....this bloke wouldnt hire kids from celeb families cos they fit the bill,!!!! RIP lee, a true true original XXXXXXX
God, I wish this show was still on.
I absolutely adore him.
I , too.
me three!
Alexander McQueen was the Greatest.Of.All.Time 💔💔❤️❤️❤️❤️ at 27 years old he was a fashion icon 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
He is a legend and will be. I adore him so much.
He will be missed forever. R.I.P. Lee
I love you man. Hope you come back again.
Beautiful Mind, a Genius. What a terrible loss. Imagine what he would have been creating this year...
Where is this fashion journalism now ??!!!!? Only influencers that post a story about how much they love it
Well said. No more serious journalism or critics. Just stupid influencers trying so hard.
The best thing about Lee was his honesty. He would laugh at all this applause. He was a genius, but he and we all knew that. He hated fashion but had to engage with it.
I wish he was still here.
Lee is missed every single day. So sad he is gone...
What a loss…there was so much more greatness to come from him.
Never will there be other McQueen. Genius
The one and only Jeanie Becker and the one and only MQUEEN 💗
this man knows his shit !! talent is not the word for what this man posses !!
He was so cute
Rudi Gernreich nor McQueen is the OG Rebel of Fashion. That title belongs to someone before the silly name tag 'Rebel' was bandied about. HER name: Elsa Schaparelli.
I was thinking Vivienne Westwood. 🤷🏼♀️
I think his clothes were to be seen at the MET Gala. And I wonder.if his mother gave the money that he needed to pay for everything? And when she died? He wouldn't be able to continue his craft? But so what if he was on drugs? That's a very mean thing to say about a fantastic designer! ❤😢❤
And this year is 2023 and Lee would be 53 years old? And maybe his life was not meant to be more than when he killed himself?
I love his red ears. LOL
Where’s the full thing?
Just clocked the Burial sample 😍
Ji ving where?????
“Its about sexuality, its about being a person who you are, and to me this is what im about”
Its in rival dealer
One of the most talented designers.
A contributor of the dismantle of truth and beauty
I don't no much about design .but he was fucking amazing !!!
Excellent devotion, so does the outputs indeed.
Idol…that’s it. Rip Lee 🖤
Burial, you son of a bitch
ive seen it done it and bought the tee shirt lol what a genius, RIP
I could see the lady waa so upset and sad about beautiful Lee.
Talent. Just that
He looks so physically tired here. It is a precursor for the darkness that was to come later.
He’s coked out
Awesome interview. Love it. Why did he have to die! :'(
Where do you buy the t-shirts from?

He had the ability knowledge ability non chalant English hooligan wit. Not that it needed explaining

We miss u rip
Mcqueens fading, fading fast ⚡️

I guess tow mater was there to save the day
Thank you.
Do anyone know how he died?
He hung himself in his wardrobe.
Oh thank u *****
Or someone killed him
Anybody know who the model is at :56?
Push the limits yes...

Sigh...Mr mcqueen if you could see what they are doing with your vision....you woul not be happy. Rest well.
Why would someone w/such a promising future decide to take their on life❓⁉️
Is it just me that thinks he was high on drugs during this interview? Nevertheless he was a talented lad!
AllOfMyLoveToYou07032006 FromMama lol no
AllOfMyLoveToYou07032006 FromMama yes he would bring cocaine into work rooms
Yeah he’s sniffing so much definitely on coke. Saying that doesn’t seem like it’s hindering him too much at that time so fuck it
sniffle sniffle...he had definitely been snorting something.
So f-----g what!?! They ALL.do? Cause it's a race! Just look at the beauty he created? ❤
*RIP*
He offed himself.
Cocaine running around a genius brain
Flipping his nose and sniffing the leftover coke in his nose. He lived fast and crashed so hard.
What happened to him...
He a massiv dopstep fan
lololololol
Who's here in 2024

Too many quotes. Quality!
Straight geeked off that booger sugar.
Genius? Clothing designer?
Without learning anything else about this guy, I disagree.
Why the hell they kill them selfs
In South Africa 🤣
looks coked up
Take it or leave it he says? I can leave it w/ no problem. Just don't like his style of design.
Another Satanist?
I feel he was a very selfish man b/c he had a lot to live for & threw it all away. So sad & wasteful....
Gidget Hrobowski i-
Imagine calling someone who killed himself selfish because he killed himself. If there’s any god that created us, I thank him for not making me this fucking stupid.
Money and fame should not be the only things to live for. You’re the selfish one for believing he should’ve stayed to slave away.
She meant in a poetic way.
Very sad indeed. He was so young, and very inspirational and down to earth.
There is a before and an after McQueen. Lee invented the 90s
