One of the most talented and innovative designers, Alexander McQueen, found dead this morning. I can't believe it. True shock. He has been an inspiration to me since Secondary School, all through College, and still.
When I saw the facebook status. 'Alexander McQueen...Suicide! What!' I thought it must have been some kind of awful joke. But after a quick google search it appeared that it was true.
Such a shame. His last collection was in my opinion one of his greatest. So beautiful. It is a strange time to happen with Fashion Week just around the corner. I just can't believe it.
This is a statement from his Office:
"On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand has been found dead at his home.
"At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family.
"Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this....The death is being treated as non-suspicious." This was taken from BBC News and you can read the whole article Here. R.I.P Lee McQueen.
