The 4 times winner of the British designer of the year award, Alexander McQueen was found dead in his house this morning. This is a terrible loss for the fashion world!! He was only 40.
I can't believe he's gone!... This message was posted in his website:
"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."
I had the luck to witness his last collection live and see him walk out to receive applauses of the audience. I can't believe that was the first and las time I ever saw him!... And the collection, his last one, well what can be said about it other than Armadillo Shoes!
May one of the greatest créateurs of our times rest in peace and may we always remember his incredible work and his contribution to fashion!
