Ed. Note: Yesterday, devastating news broke that clothing designer Alexander McQueen had committed suicide at the age of 40. McQueen’s designs were masterpieces, works of art, pieces that transcended typical fashion magazines and runways and wove themselves into the greater cultural psyche. His loss is a tragedy for not just the world of fashion, but for imagination.
Last March, we brought this post to you featuring 30 of McQueen’s looks taken from his 2009 Fall line at Paris Fashion week. We dubbed them “scary,” due in large part to the line’s morbidity — something often found in his work. We bring this post to you again today to just give you an idea as to some of McQueen’s genius and madness. As you’ll see, the critics weren’t biting, but taking a closer look at the clothes, we can assure you you’ve never seen anything else like them.

Here are The 30 Scariest Outfits You Will Ever See.
The tragedy of Michael Jackson’s death today at only 50 years old is something that we, the world, will be hearing about for weeks if not months from now. The mood around the offices at VH1 and MTV are shocked and in awe, as can be expected. It is unbelievable shocking and saddening.
Like many of our readers here, I grew up in a middle class home with middle class values. And thanks to my middle-classiness, I am one of the fortunate people in this country who can afford basic cable television. And it is thanks to that very television and that very cable that I was introduced to NYC Prep, Bravo’s latest reality show in a long series of programs dedicated to pointing out how unbelievably assy many of this country’s wealthiest people really are. And really, the only difference between NYC Prep and the Real Housewives series is menopause, busted implants, and miserable husbands.
