Alexander McQueen

By Roni Brunn | February 11, 2010 | News

I’m so sad about Alexander McQueen’s suicide.  It devastates me to imagine his state of mind since his mom’s passing recently.  I found him so inspiring and his work brilliant.  I miss him already, and the timing – during NY fashion week – makes this loss much more immediately poignant.

His family issued this 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.”

Read reactions from fashion figures & see images from his collections at WWD.
