Extraordinary talent and creative genius, Alexander McQueen, has died at the age of 40.


The British designer was found dead at his home on Thursday morning and early reports suggest the death is being treated by police as non-suspicious. In a statement released by the Alexander McQueen label, Lee Alexander McQueen's (designer's full name) family has spoken out about the unexpected and tragic news (via Daily Mail):

"At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family.
Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this."
