Live and Let Die

Today, it was announced that the Alexander McQueen label

will continue even after the death of Lee Alexander McQueen
last week. Gucci Group, which has owned the label since 2000, stated that the
Fall 2010 show (which was completed only days before Lee's death)

will run as scheduled at Paris Fashion Week in March. However, they have not released 

any decision as to who Lee's successor as head designer will be.

This really scares me.

I sincerely believe that the label should not continue.

Lee Alexander McQueen was a legendary designer and the ideas he had, 

could only have come from him. No one else will ever be able to create what he produced.

I feel that if Gucci Group replaces him with a new head designer or a panel of designers, 

there is no way they will be able to live up to McQueen.

He was one-of-a-kind designer with ideas that no other designer, young or old, could ever come up with.
His body of work is astounding, and will remain a part of fashion history forever, so why should we try
to continue with a new designer that will never do as amazing of a job as Lee did?
That was his company, and it should live and die with him.
