Today the fashion industry has been hit hard with the death of Alexander McQueen. With Fashion Week approaching, it's difficult to picture the big event with no McQueen. The very talented, innovative designer committed suicide this morning apparently through hanging himself, just days after his mother death. Can you believe its only three years since the death of Isabella Blow, style guru who made the designer the star he is today.
McQueen who is CBE and four time winner of the British Designer of the Year award, was distriot after the death of his mother, Joyce. Many were devasted when they heard the news.
In a statement, the company said: '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.' McQueen show is cancelled for Fashion Week.
