It is with great sadness that we learn of British fashion designer Alexander McQueen’s death after taking his own life. The 40-year-old fashion genius was literally at the height of his career with many projects on going including the upcoming release of his collaborative collection with Puma, as well as his latest collection which was scheduled to show at London and Paris Fashion Weeks in March.
Since his arrival to the world of fashion he has had a tremendous impact on the industry and will be greatly missed. RIP!
UPDATE:
Statement from the Family of Lee McQueen
“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.â€
