23/ REST IN PEACE

I was in a state of shock when my sister told me the sad news. Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London home this morning. He reportedly committed suicide, and imagine just after his mothers death. (This is what he wrote on his twitter "I'm letting my followers know the my mother passed away yesterday if it she had not me nor would you RIP mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,")

And when typing in his website address you will find "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."

And so soon before New York fashion week, and just days before London fashion week! I am sure there will be some lovely dedications in honor of the fashion idol.
Rest In Peace Lee. You will be missed. I can honestly say that you were/are one of my favorite designers.
