40-year-old alex mcqueen, acclaimed fashion designer, was found hanging at his home this morning. he designed the cover for bjork’s homogenic and david bowie’s earthling. mostly recently he worked with the duke spirit and lady gaga. he was the head designer of givency in the late 90s and then became creative director of gucci for some time. queen elizabeth II even made him a commander for the british empire for his fashion leadership in 2003. he was a genius and an icon and he will be greatly missed.
