This week is a sad week for all in the fashion industry, and all who loves fashion.
Famed fashion designer Alexander McQueen has died at the age of 40 - he has been found dead after taking his own life. He committed suicide just days after the death of his mother. His body was found at his luxury flat in Green Park, Central London. It is believed he have hanged himself.
His office has confirmed the sad news; saying: 'It is a tragic loss. We are not making any comments at this time out of respect for the McQueen family'.
His death comes days before London Fashion Week kicks off, and shortly before he was due to unveil his latest collection in Paris on March 9.
With his shaved head & tattoos, Alexander McQueen didn't look like your typical fashion designer. Much less one who, until 2001; was chief designer for French Label - Givenchy. Known for his wacky catwalk shows, the seemingly truculent "bad boy" of fashion was a master tailor.

I just love the way his pieces have an artful form about them, full of texture, depth and subtlety. Gorgeous stuffs. And I always like his Scottish roots where he will put on his red & green tartan whenever possible.
