Fashion Icon McQueen 'Found Hanged'

[hah]

One of Britain's top fashion designers Alexander McQueen has been found dead - reportedly hanged - at his flat in central London.

The 40-year-old is believed to have become depressed following the death of his mother Joyce, who died on February 2.

McQueen, who was named British fashion designer of the year four times between 1996 and 2003, had posted a string of messages on Twitter which offered an insight into his state of mind after he lost his beloved mum.

I think he designed something like that for Lady Gaga

RIP so sad

Such a shame - he designed some great pieces of fashion. Those shoes are simply awsome! I just started a art project on him aswell...


RIP

It is very sad indeed. His death also comes three years after the suicide of his close friend and mentor Isabella Blow when she found out she had ovarian cancer. He was going to be showing his new collection at the Paris Fashion Show. I wonder if they still will as a tribute to him. So young too really.

Tragic.

No one wears the outrageous things fashion designers create though. There is nothing fashionable about them.
