R.I.P British fashion designer Alexander McQueen
The British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead at his London home at the age of 40.
His death comes just days before the start of London fashion week and a month before he was to unveil his new collection at Paris fashion week.
His company, Alexander McQueen, issued a statement saying: “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.”
