Donna Karan:
 "It’s shocking to think that something like this could happen to somebody of that ability, who has that creativity and expression and love inside of him. There are very few people you look at who are icons of creativity.”

Dolce & Gabbana:
 "He leaves the fashion world with an unfillable void."

Anna Wintour:
 "We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen’s influence was astonishing — from street style, to music culture and the world’s museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss."

Naomi Campbell:
 "I am truly devastated to lose my close friend. His talent had no boundaries, and he was an inspiration to everyone who worked with him and knew him.”

Tai žodžiais neišsakomas praradimas. Šis „mados kovotojas“, nekreipęs dėmesio į jokią pašalinę  nuomonę ir ėjęs savo keliu aukštai pakelta galva, šį kartą suklupo.. O gal atvirkščiai – rado taip ilgai ieškotą ramybę. Kad ir kaip bebūtų, mūsų akyse McQueen niekuomet nebus „(nu)puolęs“ – tai išskirtinė asmenybė, palikusi neišdildomą žymę mados platybėse, savo įmantria scenografija ir romantiškai pesimistišku braižu sugebėjęs sukelti ne tik žiūrovų susižavėjimą ar šoką, bet ir virpuliukais kūne pasireiškiančią baimę.  Kaip manekenė  Gemma Ward pasakė – “sleep peacefully lee, you will be missed, xx"
