The brilliant British designer Alexander McQueen has committed suicide, a source from his office has confirmed. McQueen, who once described himself as the "pink sheep of the family" was openly gay, an artistic genius and a highly respected fashion icon and dressed many of the top stars today. His death comes just days after the death of his mother and just a year after his mentor, Isabella Blow, who discovered him, took her own life. The Daily Mail reports:
"McQueen was found at his luxury flat in Green Park, central London. It is believed he hanged himself. A source at McQueen’s office this afternoon confirmed his death, saying: ‘It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family.’ His death comes just days before the start of London Fashion Week and weeks before he was due to unveil his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9...
... He married his partner, film-maker George Forsyth in the summer of 2000. The ceremony took place on a yacht owned by the prince of Gambia in Ibiza and Kate Moss, a close friend, was a bridesmaid."
