Alexander McQueen

 Alexander McQueen passed away last week, nine days after the death of his mum.  McQueen was known for his eccentric designs and one-of-a kind pieces.  His style was edgy, theatrical, slightly punk and completely irreplaceable in the world of fashion.  McQueen worked as head designer at Givenchy for five years before founding his own labels (Alexander McQueen and Mc).  His celebrity patrons include Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and his latest muse included Lady Gaga.

With his passing, what will happen to his brand?  Can anyone step up and fill the shoes of McQueen's creative capacity?

Speaking of shoes, Gaga wore McQueen's "Lobster" shoes in Bad Romance below.
