Today was the London funeral for Alexander McQueen, which was attended by the designer's family—his father and five siblings—as well as his fashionable friends. Naomi Campbell and Daphne Guinness were there in their best black McQueen pieces, as well as Stella McCartney, Kate Moss and Sam Taylor-Wood. A few of McQueen's family members even showed up in the McQueen tartan, which was featured in his 2006 runway show. We at Racked LA mourn the loss of a beloved designer and look forward to the March 9 showing of his final runway collection. [Daily Mail]
