Sad news on the fashion front today. According to reports, the 40-year-old designer committed suicide, days after his mother Joyce passed away last Tuesday. McQueen was found in his apartment in Mayfair, central London, where he had apparently hung himself in an attempted suicide. His company soon released the following statement:
“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.'”
R.I.P. to one of contemporary fashion's most creative minds.
