R.I.P: Alexander McQueen

This is rather shocking. A few minutes ago my cousin Yoe told me that one of my favourite designers, Alexander McQueen was found dead.

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.

This is definitely a loss to the fashion industry as Alexander McQueen is considered one of the most talented and flamboyant designers of this era. He died at the age of 40.

I own a few of Alexander McQueen's apparels over the couple of years, and they're really nice. Really.

I guess that's how the world works.
