First London Fashion Week tribute to Alexander McQueen announced

Following on from the announcement that PPR will be keeping the Alexander McQueen label, On|Off and Catwalking.com, have announced they will be hosting a tribute to the designer who died last week.

Starting tomorrow at London Fashion Week (we’ll be there reporting on the shows) the tribute by LFW’s leading independent showcase, will consist of a display wall embedded with forty iPod touches, each holding fifty images from McQueen’s collections.

These will include McQueen’s entire catwalk archive, holding a total of two thousand pictures from the designer’s career, including his time at Givenchy.

Lee Lapthorne, Director of On|Off, said: ‘I just wanted to do something – something to show that we respect him and his inspiration to so many many of our designers…and the wall will give people an opportunity to reflect and remember.’
