The fashion industry is reeling after Alexander McQueen was found dead today by his boyfriend, at his luxury flat in Mayfair, central London, after taking his own life. The 40-year-old fashion designer’s suicide this morning, comes just days after the death of his beloved mother, Joyce. It is believed McQueen, the four-time British designer of the year, hanged himself. Mr McQueen’s close friend and fashion icon Isabella Blow, who helped kick-start his career, killed herself in 2007. His death came days before London Fashion Week, and as final preparations were being made for a spring collection to be unveiled in Paris. His office 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.’
