Gucci Group announced today that the doors at Alexander McQueen will not be shut. They plan on showing this season in Paris, his final fittings for the clothes actually took place a week before he took his life. They have not announced yet who will replace him though, my bets are on Olivier Theyskens (formerly of Nina Ricci and Rochas). Tomorrow there will be a wall set up at London Fashion week for people to leave notes for McQueen, which will then be put in a book for his family. British Fashion Council President, Harold Tillman, will also make a speech.
Also, Lady Gaga reportedly did not want to go to the Brit Awards because she was still devastated about McQueen's death. She ended up attending, winning three awards which she dedicated to McQueen, along with a performance for him complete with an oversized model wearing his infamous S/S 2010 shoes. The performance was originally supposed to be big and lavish like she usually does, but the day before insisted upon changing the entire thing, much to the dismay of the shows producers.
