It’s a tragic day for the world of fashion. Brilliant and controversial British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead at his London home on Thursday morning, February 11, after taking his own life. The Daily Mail reports that the designer, whose mother had passed away just days earlier, was discovered in his central London apartment. It is believed that he died by suicide.
I’m speechless. I have no words to describe this loss. Alexander McQueen was one of the most creative spirits in fashion, and I cannot believe he is gone. This is a dark day for the fashion industry.
Rest in peace, Alexander McQueen.
