R.I.P. Alexander McQueen







Designer Alexander McQueen was found dead of an apparent suicide on February 11, shortly before the start of both New York's and London's Fashion Weeks. McQueen was not scheduled to show a Spring/Summer line, but had been in the high fashion industry for quite some time. He had gained a large celebrity following, such as Drew Barrymore, Sandra Bullock, Lady GaGa, and Sarah Jessica Parker.



McQueen worked as the head designer for Givenchy before going out on his own to create the Alexander McQueen and McQ brands. He also won the British Designer of the Year award four times in his lifetime. Many in the fashion community expressed their sadness over McQueen's death. Sarah Jessica Parker lamented, saying, "He had so much left to do."
