Rest in peace Alexander McQueen. A legend in fashion has died. McQueen, who was found dead today, in his home, has committed suicide, a week after his mother's passing. A designer who has been known for his classic, if slightly gothic, looks, seemed sad, but somewhat upbeat after his mother's death, sources say. McQueen's death is a shock to all who knew him, and truly a tragedy in the fashion community.
Posts on his twitter page revealed his struggle with his Mom's death...posts included references to an, "...awful week" and "hell's profilic demons".
Three years after the death of McQueen's close friend and muse Isabella Blow (who also committed suicide-by drinking weedkiller), Lee (Alexander) McQueen has now followed in her footsteps.
Alexandra Schulman of British Vogue recalls that he, "influenced a whole generation of designers,"
Designer Katherine Hamnett has commented that it is surely a, "tragic waste."
McQueen will surely be missed.
