McQueen influenced pop and R&B artists such as Rihanna, Janet Jackson and Monica who, in an email to Sandrarose.com wrote, “his beautiful visions… helped us to achieve all we wanted and more. Life is short. We must all enjoy each moment.” Monica learned of the designer’s death after filming of her “Everything To Me” video had wrapped. She wore his designs throughout the video and she dedicated the video to his memory.

Can’t nobody wera those shoes right, but GAGA.
So sad, the lost of a parent is a tough blow, but you have to press on. But that’s so much easier said than done, I know. Mr. McQueen was a visionary and I loved his worked even those darn lobster claw shoes. He will be truly missed to the fashion world.
His work was beautiful…minus those dang shoes. I think is work will be forever remembered.
I hope he finds the peace he was seeking.
Mo killin EVERYBODY, that hair is hawt!
Didn’t I read somewhere dat his mother died from suicide also? Maybe I’m wrong but he was truly a visionary wit those shoes.
Lost ‘negroes’ will Follow anything whitey describes for them. A bunch of Lost Negroes…..
You all embrace whitey no matter what! Check yourselves!!
RIP. Mcqueen
those shoes make me cringe
So terrible. I’m sure he was suffering from more than his mother’s death. Mentally stable people don’t just up and kill themselves over the death of an elderly relative. God rest his soul.
His bestes friend killed herself 3 years ago. His mom helped him with his career in a major way.

You are an EPIC FAIL-so stupid of you and you are probably a black person making me smh at how you will display your ignorance FUKN Dummy!
I’m sure there was more to it than just the death of his mother. Maybe that was his breaking point as well, without her he figured he couldn’t go on. I have always been a fan of his work and I hope his soul finds some peace.
Rihanna is so classy in this pic. Luv it.
