In breaking news, Cutdrop has learned that flamboyant fashion designer Alexander McQueen, 40, was found dead in his British apartment in an apparent suicide. His designs were worn by the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Lady Gaga. McQueen was scheduled to show his McQ line at Fashion Week on Thursday afternoon.
Known for his outrageous styles and stirring controversy, McQueen launched his own line in 1992 then joined Givenchy design house in 1996. He relaunched Alexander McQueen under Gucci. McQueen had boutiques in New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London and Milan.
His death comes three years following the suicide of Isabella Blow, editor and fashion director of Blow magazine, who discovered him.
