Lee Alexander McQueen 1969 - 2010



The world has lost another unique fashion designer.
Alexander McQueen, 40, was found dead at his London home on Thursday morning, Britain's Daily Mail reports that he hanged himself in his luxury apartment.
McQueen's death comes days after the death of his mother, Joyce, and almost three years after the May 2007 suicide of his close friend Isabella Blow, who discovered the designer and helped launch his career. The designer was so upset at his friend's death, that he dedicated his spring-summer show at Paris Fashion Week 2008 to the late Blow.

Nomads



Named after the Bedouin wanderers of North Africa and Arabia, it's decked out like a Sultan's boudoir with low, carpeted and cushioned tables and thick, finely crafted curtains separating the sections. You eat lying down but when the waitresses who look like supermodels come to take you order you're likely to stand to attention. A modish see-and-be-seen venue for the local fashion and media crowd, it's owned by the same group as Supper Club. The food is a spicy Mid - East and North African mix and costs a bit, as do the cocktails, but then you'd pay a lot more for a flight to Jordan or Morocco. And here you get belly dancers, great looking girls - and a magic carpet ride for free!
