McQueen Tribute on Melrose Ave

On Saturday we drove past the Alexander McQueen boutique at Madison on Melroseto see if any sort of tribute had been set up. We have to admit that we had to stop to admire the reinstallation! The window display was redesigned to reflect his untimely death. The mannequins had been dressed all in black as mourners gathered around a casket draped by a Union Jack, the phrase “Long Live McQueen” pasted onto the glass. LAWeekly has reported that it was set up by none other than Mito Aviles and ChadMichael Morrisette [our infamous rooftop artist neighbors in WeHo]. Some have criticized this for being "McQueen Tribute Gone Too Far", what do you think?
