Our sisters at the LA Weekly point out McQueen's unique role in rock and roll fashion; he worked with Lady Gaga, who made his shoes famous, and with Bjork, whose Homogenic cover he designed. Once Bjork asked McQueen what it would sound like if the designer had made music instead: "They would have to play Donna Summer.

"It would be the longest single on the face of the Earth."
