 On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand has been found dead at his home. 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.

When The Silentstoryteller rang me to tell me the news that Alexander McQueen was dead I couldn't comprehend it. Such a visionary and Artist. 

In the difficult world of Fashion his label stood alone.

His Work will have a lasting impact.

May he now rest in peace.
