British designer Alexander McQueen was found dead on Thursday morning, after committing suicide. He was 40 years old.
The devastating news has shocked the fashion world. His mother passed away last week and his best friend and confidant Isabella Row had also committed suicide three years ago.
McQueen's office confirmed the news saying "It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family."
McQueen is perhaps most known for his one most enduring motif which he transported from catwalk to the High Street, that being the skull.
His trademark scarf bearing the design has become a celebrity must-have. Johnny Depp, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Ritchie and Cameron Diaz are among the stars who have been snapped wearing it.
Alexander McQueen's contribution to fashion could not in anyway be denied. The runways will never be the same.
Rest in peace Lee Alexander McQueen.
